Tetrakis (hydroxymethyl) Phosphonium Sulfate (THPS) is a remarkable organophosphorus compound valued for its dual functionality as a biocide and flame retardant. At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we believe in empowering our clients with comprehensive knowledge about the chemicals they use. Understanding the intrinsic properties and proper handling of THPS is key to maximizing its benefits and ensuring safe operations.

THPS is typically supplied as a colorless to yellow clear liquid. Its chemical formula, C4H13O8PS, and CAS number 55566-30-8 are vital identifiers in industrial applications. A critical property to note is its melting point, which is relatively low, around 35°C. This means that in colder climates or storage conditions, THPS can potentially freeze. Conversely, at elevated temperatures, specifically above 111°C, it may decompose, potentially releasing irritating odors. Therefore, maintaining THPS within a stable temperature range, avoiding both extreme cold and heat, is essential for preserving its efficacy and preventing degradation. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. advises adherence to recommended storage conditions to maintain product integrity.

When handling THPS, safety precautions are paramount. While it is valued for its biodegradability and relatively low toxicity compared to some alternatives, it is still a chemical that requires careful management. It's important to consult the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for detailed guidance on personal protective equipment (PPE), first aid measures, and spill response. Proper ventilation in handling areas is also recommended to mitigate any potential exposure to its inherent odor, which can be present even without decomposition.

Storage recommendations typically include keeping THPS in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and incompatible materials. Its shelf life is generally around 2 years under proper storage conditions. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. ensures that our products are packaged securely to maintain their quality during transport and storage. By following these guidelines, users can ensure that the THPS they receive from us performs as expected in their various applications, from water treatment to textile finishing.

For any further technical queries regarding the properties, handling, or applications of THPS, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is readily available to provide expert support. Our aim is to foster a safe and efficient use of our chemical products for all our clients.
