Tricresyl Phosphate (mixture of isomers) (CAS 1330-78-5)

Tricresyl Phosphate (mixture of isomers) is a viscous liquid that can range from colorless to yellowish, insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents like benzene, toluene, and ethanol. It′s widely used across multiple industries, including plastic, rubber, textile, and aviation, serving as a plasticizer, solvent, lubricant, and flame retardant. In the creation of polymeric materials, it acts as a plasticizer, serving also as a lubricant and a flame retardant in various applications. It plays a role in formulating aviation-specific fluids, like hydraulic fluids and lubricants. Consisting of three different isomers, Tricresyl Phosphate acts as a corrosion inhibitor and has the capability to diminish mitochondrial membrane potential. It′s a critical component in wastewater management, aiding in corrosion prevention due to its substantial resistance to water vapor and acts as a suppressant for metal hydroxides, zirconium oxide, and copper chloride at temperatures beneath 100°C.
