TEC and ATBC are specialty plasticizers suited to different application requirements. The main differences relate to molecular weight, polarity, flowability, solvency, migration resistance, and heat resistance.
| Performance Aspect | TEC | ATBC |
|---|---|---|
| Molecular weight and polarity | Lower molecular weight and stronger polarity | Not characterized by the same lower molecular weight and stronger polarity as TEC |
| Flowability and solvency | Better flowability and solvency | More focused on migration and heat resistance |
| Typical applications | Pharmaceutical coatings, surface coatings, and fragrance systems | Flexible PVC and long-term use applications |
| Durability-related performance | Designed for applications requiring flowability and solvency | Better migration resistance and heat resistance |
TEC has a lower molecular weight and stronger polarity than ATBC. As a result, it provides better flowability and solvency, making it suitable for pharmaceutical coatings, surface coatings, and fragrance systems.
ATBC offers better migration resistance and heat resistance. It is therefore more suitable for flexible PVC products and applications requiring long-term use.
Henan GO Biotech Co., Ltd. can help customers compare TEC and ATBC according to the required performance, compliance considerations, and application needs.
