high purity 78-51-3 cost Tris 2-Butoxyethyl Phosphate manufacturer CAS NO.78-51-3

Tris(2-butoxyethyl) phosphate is a trialkyl phosphate in which the alkyl group specified is 2-butoxyethyl. It has a role as an environmental contaminant and a flame retardant.

This product is a flame-retardant plasticizer. It is mainly used for flame-retardant and plasticizing of polyurethane resin, cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, etc. It has good low-temperature characteristic.

Tributoxyethyl Phosphate (TBEP) is used as a plasticizer for PVC, chlorinated rubber, and nitriles due to its flame retardant nature and good low temperature flexibility. TBEP is also used for emulsions of floor polishes, as leveling agent in latex paints and waxes, a processing aid for acrylonitrile rubber, and an antiblock agent for cast polyurethanes.

TBEP is a light-colored, high-boiling, non-flammable viscous liquid. It is generally used as a plasticizer in rubber and plastics, and aids in floor polish formation (as well as in other surface coatings), leveling and improves gloss.

Applications

• in acrylic based polishes where its coalescent and plasticising properties will improve levelling and gloss, enabling a "dry bright" finish to be obtained. It will also reduce surface defects such as streaking, crazing, and powdering. Tributoxy ethyl phosphate (TBEP) is used also in acrylic gloss paint formulations as a coalescent and defoamer.
• Tributoxy ethyl phosphate (TBEP) also helps to improve pigment wetting and rheological properties with a minimal effect on reflectance Tributoxy ethyl phosphate (TBEP) is a highly effective "knockdown" defoamer used extensively in paint, textile and paper industries.
• Tributoxy ethyl phosphate (TBEP) is also used as a halogen free flame retardant additive in polymer systems. It can be used also in conjunction with other flame retardants.
