Applications:

GTB is a very safe plasticizer and is therefore used in the food-packaging industry on paper and

paperboard

GTB is used in high concentrations in polyvinyl acetate-based adhesives. GTB is mixed into the

mixture at below, its melting point using a high shear mixer. If GTB in heated above its melting point (71°C), this results in an irreversible tackification and plastification of the coating.

GTB may be used in cellophane-packing to improve heat-seal properties,

without affecting colour and clarity of the film.

GTB is an excellent plasticizer and non-formaldehyde resin substitute in nail lacquer

formulations. It imparts superior du-rability and aesthetic properties.

GTB improves adhesion and water resistance of printing ink formulations.

Packaging:
