TBC and ATBC are both eco-friendly citrate ester plasticizers used in environmentally friendly flexible formulations. The main difference is that ATBC has undergone acetylation modification, which typically gives it improved performance in several demanding application requirements.
ATBC is generally preferred in high-end formulations because its improved water resistance, migration resistance, low-temperature flexibility, and volatility control can better support demanding product requirements. For this reason, ATBC is more suitable for high-end food-contact materials, medical products, and children's products.
TBC provides good processing flow and a more cost-effective option. It is suitable for mid-to-high-end environmentally friendly flexible formulations where processing performance and cost efficiency are important considerations.
Henan GO Biotech Co., Ltd. supplies TBC and ATBC citrate ester plasticizers for applications with different performance and compliance requirements. The choice between TBC and ATBC depends on the required balance of water resistance, migration resistance, low-temperature flexibility, volatility control, processing flow, and cost.
