Research Summary

Cellulose Acetate Butyrate (CAB) is a thermoplastic material derived from cellulose, a natural polymer found in the cell walls of plants. It is produced by chemically modifying cellulose through acetylation and butyrylation, where both acetyl and butyryl groups are introduced onto the cellulose molecule. The degree of acetylation and butyrylation can vary, resulting in different types of CAB with varying properties. CAB is known for its excellent clarity, toughness, and resistance to impact, making it a popular choice in applications requiring transparent or translucent materials with high durability. It is commonly used in the production of eyewear frames, as it offers excellent colorability, lightweight characteristics, and resistance to cracking. CAB is also utilized in various other applications, such as automotive parts, coatings, adhesives, and as a binder in inks and coatings for its adhesion properties. Its versatility and unique properties make Cellulose Acetate Butyrate a valuable material in several industrial and consumer product sectors.
