Properties:
TEP (Triethyl Phosphate) CAS 78-40-0 is a colorless, transparent liquid with a mild, characteristic odor. It is a stable, low-toxicity organophosphate ester with good solubility in water and most organic solvents (such as alcohols, ethers, and aromatic hydrocarbons). It exhibits low volatility and is considered readily biodegradable under aerobic conditions.
Application:
TEP is a versatile chemical with two primary functions:
As an efficient flame retardant and plasticizer, widely used in flexible and rigid polyurethane foams, coatings, resins, and cellulose acetate films.
As a solvent and intermediate in the synthesis of pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and other organic compounds.
Package and Storage:
Standard packaging is in 200L iron drums or 1000L IBC totes. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and open flames. Keep containers tightly closed.
