Report Description
Tributyl Citrate (TBC), also known as Butyl Citrate, Tri-n-butyl citrate, and Tributyl Ester, is a colorless, non-toxic, and oily liquid
with a high boiling point and fruity flavor at room temperature. It is insoluble in water, but dissolves in acetic acid, acetone, castor oil,
carbon tetrachloride, mineral oil, and methanol. Known to react with oxidizing reagents, TBC is produced through esterification of
citric acid with 1-butanol and concentrated sulfuric acid acting as a catalyst.
TBC is widely used in food wrapping films, soft toys for children, cosmetics, and as a plasticizer for polymers such as poly vinyl
chloride (PVC) and its copolymers. It aids maintenance of color when processed with resins due to its excellent heat stability.

medicines, cosmetics, flavors and fragrances, and adhesives. It is also utilized in cigarette filters to retain moisture. TBC is a
competent fragrance carrier, and thereby applied on a large scale in cosmetic products.
Salient properties of TBC include good compatibility, weather resistance, non-toxicity, limited volatility, and high plasticizing
efficiency. It recently replaced phthalate ester, which is carcinogenic and is known to have adverse effects on human health, as a safer,
and hence, preferred alternative. With increasing environmental awareness and improvements in regulations, the TBC market is
expected to experience a steady growth rate during the forecast period.
