Introduction
Tributyl Citrate (TBC) is an excellent replacement 
for phthalates or adipates. It contains a matching 
plasticizer performance.
The general characteristics of tributyl citrate are 
clear, transparent, colorless, and oily liquid. 
Tributyl Citrate can be insoluble in water, but it 
can be dissolved in methanol and carbon 
tetrachloride, acetic acid, and many more.
It is used in oral pharmaceutical formulations and 
is regarded as an essentially safe and non-
irritating substance.

Tributyl Citrate Benefits
• This product is an anodyne plasticizer.
• Tributyl Citrate is a good option for the 
granulation non-invasive PVC
• It can be used to package substances in food 
production, soft toys, and other health-related 
products and services.
• Tributyl Citrate can also be used as a 
plasticizer in polyvinyl chloride, vinyl 
copolymers, and cellulose resin applications.
Tributyl Citrate Causes
• Tributyl citrate can be made with citric acid or n-
butanol when there is a catalyst by esterifying. 
• The conventional catalyst is concentrated 
sulfuric acids, which have high catalytic activity 
despite their low price.
• It can cause severe corrosion of equipment. 
The post-processing process can be complex; 
the selection of reaction is poor and 
environmental pollution is serious. 
• Therefore, it is important to seek alternative 
catalysts for concentrated sulfuric acid.
