Butyl Citrate Chemical Properties, Uses, Production
Chemical Properties
Butyl Citrate (TBC) is a clear, colorless to yellow, liquid at ambient temperatures. The material has a slight, characteristic odor.
Uses
Butyl Citrate is primarily for use as a plasticizer for polyactic acid, cellulose acetate, and vinyl. The organic compound is used as an intermediate or additive in the production of products including cosmetics, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) flooring, and bottle caps.
Hazard
Butyl Citrate is stable under normal conditions of use. Prevent contact with oxidizing agents, esters, and nitrates. Avoid heat, open flames and other potential sources of ignition. Heating to decomposition may release carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
