Citrate Plasticizer Application in Coatings and Inks

2025-07-20

ATBC is considered as a safe, low toxicity, alternative plasticizer demonstrating improved biodegradability and biochemical properties, as compared to phthalates.

ATBC is widely used now for NC coatings as well as NC food packaging inks & packaging of medical products. ATBC tends to be more sensitive to migration as compared to DOP, although still low as compared to other plasticizers. One of the applications of ATBC is in lacquers for toys.

UV inks have become a vital component in the modern printing industry due to their rapid curing, environmental advantages, and ability to print on various substrates. In the formulation of UV inks, the choice of additives, such as plasticizers, can significantly impact the ink’s performance and characteristics. Acetyl Tributyl Citrate (ATBC) is one such plasticizer that has garnered attention for its compatibility with UV inks. In this comprehensive essay, we will delve into the multifaceted use of ATBC as a plasticizer in UV inks, examining its advantages, safety considerations, and the implications for the UV printing industry.
