General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry. This product is environmentally-benign and can replace highly toxic phthalates in membrane preparation and thus aligns with "Less Hazardous Chemical Syntheses". Click here for more information.

Application

Tributyl O-acetylcitrate (TBoAC) can be used:
  • As a plasticizer to improve flexibility and impact properties of polylactide (PLA) polymer.
  • As a processing additive for the formulation of bulk heterojunction (BHJ) polymeric organic solar cells (OSCs) to improve their efficiency.
  • In the preparation of semiconducting biopolymer composites of poly(3-hydroxy butyrate) (PHB).
  • In the synthesis of functionalized poly(vinyl chloride)(PVC) membranes for selective separation of perchlorate from water.
