Tricresyl Phosphate is a high-performance Technical Grade plasticizer recognized for its exceptional flame-retardant properties. It is a clear, viscous liquid that significantly enhances the fire resistance and thermal stability of various polymer systems.

This high-purity organophosphate compound is valued for its low volatility and excellent compatibility with synthetic resins. It acts as a critical extreme pressure (EP) additive, improving the load-bearing capacity of industrial lubricants and hydraulic fluids.

Commercially, it serves as a robust functional additive in the production of Flame Retardant PVC and nitrocellulose coatings. Its ability to reduce smoke density and prevent combustion makes it indispensable in high-safety industrial environments.

Tricresyl Phosphate

  • Flame Retardancy: Provides essential fire-resistant properties to PVC, synthetic rubber, and cellulose-based plastics.
  • Lubricant Additives: Functions as a high-efficiency anti-wear and extreme pressure agent in aviation and industrial oils.
  • Plasticization: Used to increase the flexibility, durability, and chemical resistance of industrial lacquers and varnishes.

Classified as a Reproductive Toxicant and Aquatic Chronic Hazard. It is Harmful if Swallowed and may cause damage to organs through prolonged exposure. Proper PPE, including Nitrile Gloves and Chemical Goggles, is mandatory.

Standard industrial formats include 200 kg Steel Drums, 1000 kg IBC Tanks, and bulk ISO Tanks.
