At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we believe in empowering our clients with knowledge to make informed decisions. Cellulose Acetate Butyrate (CAB), CAS 9004-36-8, is a versatile polymer with a broad spectrum of industrial applications. Understanding its characteristics and how to select the appropriate grade is key to unlocking its full potential.

CAB is a cellulose ester characterized by its mixed acetate and butyrate functional groups. The ratio of these groups, along with the molecular weight, dictates its performance properties. Key properties to consider when selecting a CAB product include solubility, viscosity, compatibility with other resins, hardness, and flexibility. For instance, higher butyryl content generally leads to wider solubility and better compatibility, while higher molecular weight increases toughness and solution viscosity.

The primary applications for CAB span across coatings, printing inks, adhesives, and even nail care products. In coatings, it's used to improve flow, leveling, adhesion, and resistance to chemicals and weathering. In inks, it enhances gloss, adhesion, and drying speed. For adhesives, CAB can boost tack and cohesion. When choosing a CAB product, it's essential to match these properties to the specific requirements of your application. For example, a coating requiring high flexibility might benefit from a CAB grade with higher butyryl content and lower molecular weight.
