Odor-Controlled Plasticizer for Sensitive Formulations
Acetyl Tributyl Citrate ATBC is a non-toxic and environmentally friendly citrate ester used where low odor and resistance to water extraction are important formulation considerations. Its molecular formula is C20H34O8 and its CAS number is 77-90-7. It is supplied as a clear, colorless, odorless oily liquid. The material has a density of 1.045–1.058 g/cm³, purity of at least 99%, an acid value not exceeding 0.1 mg KOH/g, and moisture not exceeding 0.1%.
The absence of odor and its good resistance to being extracted by water give ATBC a specific role in formulations that cannot be evaluated only by softness or processing behavior. These properties are especially relevant when the finished material may be used under demanding contact or hygiene conditions.
End Uses Requiring Low Odor and Media Stability
- Acetyl Tributyl Citrate ATBC is used for medical infusion materials, PVC intended for food contact, chewing gum base, products for children, and other soft materials with demanding sanitary requirements. For infusion-related applications, purchasing decisions can focus on odor, grade, and behavior when exposed to water. In food-contact PVC, suitability for the intended use and consistent material selection are equally important. Chewing gum base and children's articles represent additional uses where the target application must be considered before formulation approval.
- Within the citrate ester family, ATBC has a stronger orientation toward medical, food-related, and other sensitive-use formulations than TBC. The supplied product information states that its toxicological data are complete. Available grades include food grade and medical grade. Buyers may also discuss specification targets and packaging adjustments before moving from evaluation to production orders.
Technical, Quality, and Logistics Coordination
For ATBC supply, Jiaxing Xiaolan Import and Export Co., Ltd. coordinates with large chemical producers through personnel experienced in chemical technology, quality work, and supply-chain management. The cooperating factories hold ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 management system certifications.
Sample applications and specification discussions are handled at the commercial stage. During production, quality staff follow batch inspection at the factory, and logistics staff coordinate packing and shipment. A COA and MSDS can accompany the material. When independent checking is part of the purchasing requirement, SGS, BV, or another third-party organization can be involved.
Delivery Formats for Different Consumption Levels
- Regular packing includes 200L iron drums with a net weight of 200 kg and IBC tanks. ISO tank transport and flexitank delivery are also available for larger liquid-chemical shipments. The selection can be based on storage capacity, internal handling, and expected usage volume.
- For projects that begin with formulation trials and later move to repeat supply, Acetyl Tributyl Citrate ATBC provides a clear basis for controlling grade, key batch properties, documentation, and incoming packaging.
