Medical application examples include: Extra-corporeal tubing Blood bags IV solution containers & sets Catheters Applications Medical Components Citroflex B-6 Plasticizer has low extractability into lipid media, making it particularly useful for blood bags and related products. It nearly duplicates the properties of diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP). Medical Tubing B-6 enables the tubing to maintain flexibility and resistance to cracking at low temperatures. Unlike other phthalate-free alternatives, such as di(2-Ethylhexyl)adipate (DEHA), Citroflex B-6 Plasticizer exhibits lower volatility and reduced potential for leaching. Features Non-toxic and sustainable Biodegradability Enhanced flexibility Free of phthalates Application Highlights Blood Bags High molecular weight, low extractability, prevents plasticizer migration Medical Tubing Strong polymer compatibility, low-temperature flexibility Additional Resources Safety Data Sheet (SDS) Technical Data Sheet (TDS) Related Products Citroflex™ Citric Acid Esters Citroflex citric acid esters are suitable for use as phthalate-free alternatives to plasticizers such as low molecular weight adipates, phthalates, and sebacates in various polymer applications. These esters are partially derived from bio-based raw materials and have been demonstrated to be biodegraded by microorganisms in soil. They are ideal for use in bio-polymer systems and applications where high bio-sourced content or end-of-life biodegradability are desirable. Citroflex esters are not volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Versatile. Renewable. Biodegradable. Ready To Get Started?
