Hallstar® TBC, Tributyl Citrate is a colorless, or light‐yellow odorless liquid. It is insoluble in water and freely soluble in alcohol and isopropyl alcohol. The ingredient is produced by reaction when combining butyl alcohol and citric acid. Tributyl Citrate is used as a film former, solvent, plasticizer, and anti‐foam. It functions as a plasticizer and anti‐foam in nitrocellulose nail polish lacquers and a solvent and film former in colored hair dyes & styling products.
