Cellulose acetate butyrate

Description:
Cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB) is a thermoplastic polymer derived from cellulose, characterized by the partial acetylation and butyrylation of cellulose. It is known for its excellent clarity, flexibility, and resistance to moisture and UV light, making it suitable for various applications, including coatings, films, and adhesives. CAB exhibits good mechanical properties and thermal stability, which allows it to maintain performance across a range of temperatures. Its solubility in organic solvents, such as acetone and ethyl acetate, facilitates its use in formulations for coatings and inks. Additionally, CAB is biodegradable, which aligns with increasing environmental concerns regarding plastic waste. The material is often utilized in the production of cigarette filters, as well as in the automotive and packaging industries, due to its favorable balance of strength and processability. Overall, cellulose acetate butyrate is a versatile polymer that combines the beneficial properties of cellulose with enhanced performance characteristics.
