TBC Tributyl Citrate
Basic PropertiesTBC (Tributyl Citrate) is a colorless or light yellow transparent oily liquid, slightly soluble in water, and miscible with most organic solvents. It is low in toxicity and can be considered a non-toxic plasticizer, often referred to as an environmentally friendly plasticizer. TBC has a high boiling point and flash point, excellent heat resistance, light resistance, and water resistance, making it suitable for applications requiring weather resistance and long-term stability. Additionally, it exhibits antibacterial properties, flame retardancy, and biodegradability, meeting green environmental requirements.

Main Applications
1. As a Plasticizer: TBC is primarily used as a plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride (PVC), vinyl chloride copolymers, and cellulose resins. It offers excellent plasticizing effects and improves the flexibility and transparency of materials.
2. Food Packaging Materials: TBC is widely used in food packaging due to its non-toxic, odorless properties, which do not affect the flavor of food. It also maintains the transparency and printability of plastic products, making it an ideal plasticizer for food packaging.
3. Medical Devices and Cosmetics: TBC is extensively used in the plasticization of medical device and cosmetic packaging materials, meeting requirements for non-toxicity, cold resistance, water resistance, and light resistance, ensuring product safety and durability.
4. Children's Toys: Due to its low toxicity and safety characteristics, TBC is widely used in the production of children's toys, providing softness and durability.
PrecautionsAlthough TBC Tributyl Citrate is considered a non-toxic plasticizer, safety precautions should still be observed during use. It should be stored in a cool, ventilated, and dry place and transported as a general chemical. During use, avoid direct contact with skin and eyes. In case of accidental contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical assistance.
