Tributyl 2-acetylcitrate, also known as acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC), is a specialty chemical widely used as a non-toxic plasticizer in the production of polymers, particularly polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It enhances the flexibility, durability, and workability of PVC products, making it ideal for manufacturing medical devices, food packaging, films, and toys. Its biodegradable and low-volatility properties ensure compliance with stringent safety and environmental standards. Additionally, it serves as an additive in coatings, adhesives, and paints to improve performance, stability, and physical properties. In cosmetics and personal care products, it acts as an emollient and moisturizer, providing softness and hydration to the skin. Its compatibility with various resins extends its applications in specialized industrial and consumer goods.
