In an era where material safety and environmental responsibility are increasingly prioritized, Triphenyl Phosphate (TPP) stands out as a key chemical additive. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is proud to supply high-quality TPP, an eco-friendly solution that enhances the flame retardancy and plasticizing properties of various polymers. This article highlights the significant advantages TPP brings, particularly to Polycarbonate (PC) and PC/ABS applications.

Triphenyl Phosphate is a non-halogenated, organic phosphate compound recognized for its efficacy in providing fire safety to materials. Its primary function as a flame retardant is to inhibit or suppress combustion, a critical attribute for products used in electronics, construction, and automotive industries. The compound typically appears as white flaky crystals, boasting a purity of 99% minimum and a phosphorus content of 9.5%. This ensures consistent and reliable performance in its applications.

The demand for non-halogenated flame retardant for PC ABS is a significant driver in the chemical industry, as these materials are widely used in housings for electronics and appliances. TPP provides an excellent solution, offering robust flame retardancy without the environmental drawbacks associated with halogenated alternatives. As a TPP plasticizer for PC, it also contributes to improved mechanical properties, such as enhanced impact resistance and better processability, making it easier to mold and shape these often rigid plastics.

The effectiveness of Triphenyl Phosphate as a high-performance triphenyl phosphate flame retardant is well-documented. When exposed to heat, it decomposes to form phosphoric acid, which then dehydrates to pyrophosphoric acid and polyphosphoric acid. These acidic species promote char formation on the polymer surface. This char layer acts as an insulating barrier, reducing heat transfer and oxygen supply to the underlying material, thereby suppressing combustion. This characteristic is vital for creating safer end products.

Beyond its use in PC and PC/ABS, TPP also functions as a flame retardant plasticizer for nitrocellulose and acetocellulose, contributing to the safety of lacquers and coatings. It also serves as a softener in synthetic rubber, improving its handling and flexibility. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. ensures that our supply of Triphenyl Phosphate meets stringent quality controls, providing our clients with a reliable source for this essential chemical. By choosing TPP, manufacturers can elevate the safety and performance of their products while adhering to eco-friendly practices.
