QUICK LINKS
Tris(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate, known as TEHP, is a versatile colorless liquid with a faint, recognizable scent. As a member of the phosphate family, which encompasses phosphorus and oxygen-containing compounds, Tris(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate excels as an efficient flame retardant widely utilized in industries such as automotive and electronics. The flame retardant properties of Tris(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate stem from its ability to create a protective layer around treated materials. Upon reaction with the material, Tris(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate generates a char layer that hinders further combustion. Acting as a surfactant, Tris(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate reduces the surface tension of liquids, enabling their dispersion into smaller particles. Lastly, Tris(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate functions as a plasticizer, decreasing material viscosity and augmenting flexibility.
