Tri-methyl Phosphate (TMP) is an organic phosphate with low toxicity, low volatility, and flame retardancy. Its fields of action are very wide, including:

Flame retardant and plasticizing field: Tricresyl phosphate is an important plasticizing and flame retardant additive for the production of vinyl resin, nitrocellulose, polyvinyl chloride, cable rubber products, and soft polyurethane foam. It can not only increase the flexibility of the material but also significantly improve the flame retardant performance of the material, making it safer and more reliable.
Solvent field: Tricresyl phosphate has high solubility and can dissolve many organic substances and dyes, so it is often used as a solvent, especially in the fields of manufacturing dyes, coatings, inks, and cleaners.
Pharmaceutical preparation field: tricresyl phosphate plays an important role in pharmaceutical preparations. It can serve as an effective solubilizer and accelerator to improve the stability and bioavailability of drugs. At the same time, it can also be used as a dispersant and emulsifier in some colloid and emulsion preparations to stabilize the drug dispersion system and improve the absorption efficiency of the drug.
Metal cleaning field: tricresyl phosphate has high surface activity and solubility, which can effectively remove oxide film and oil stains on the surface of aluminum alloy and other metals, keeping the metal surface clean and bright. Therefore, it is often used as a metal cleaning agent, especially for cleaning and treating aluminum alloys.
Other fields: Tricresyl phosphate can also be used as an analytical reagent, a solvent and plasticizer for nitrocellulose, and an important extreme pressure anti-wear agent for regulating machine gear oils and lubricants. In addition, it can be blended into gasoline as vehicle fuel, which helps improve the performance and quality of oil products and reduce pollutant emissions.
However, although tricresyl phosphate has many uses, its safety also needs to be paid attention to during use. It has certain toxicity and may cause harm to human health. Therefore, appropriate protective measures should be taken when using it to avoid inhalation, ingestion, or transdermal absorption. At the same time, when dealing with tricresyl phosphate leaks, corresponding emergency procedures also need to be followed to ensure the safety of personnel and the environment.

To sum up, tricresyl phosphate plays an important role in flame retardancy and plasticization, solvents, pharmaceutical preparations, metal cleaning, and many other fields. With the advancement of science and technology and the need for industrial development, the application prospects of tricresyl phosphate will be broader.If you need tricresyl phosphate, please contact us！
