1. Product Description
In short, Acetyl Triethyl Citrate(ATEC) is an ethyl ester formed by the acetylation of Triethyl Citrate(TEC), a colorless, odorless oily liquid. ATEC is a non-toxic plasticizer, mainly used as a plasticizer for cellulose resin as well as making food packaging materials, flavoring and fragrance preparation and cosmetics manufacturing, etc. Furthermore, ffered here at Integratechem, one of the leading and professional China manufacturers and suppliers. In addition, acetyl triethyl citrate factory produces it uses citric acid and alcohol. Besides, ATEC is suitable for children’s toys, medical products and other fields.
