For B2B buyers in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, the meticulous specifications of chemical intermediates are not just data points; they are fundamental to ensuring product quality, performance, and regulatory compliance. Triethyl Phosphate (TEP), with its CAS number 78-40-0, is a prime example, and understanding its detailed specifications is key to making informed purchasing decisions. As a reputable China manufacturer, we pride ourselves on delivering TEP 99% that consistently meets and exceeds industry expectations.

The primary specification for TEP is its purity, consistently rated at ≥99.0%. This high level of purity is critical for its efficacy across its diverse applications. As a high boiling point solvent for nitrocellulose and cellulose acetate, even minor impurities can affect film formation and clarity. For catalytic applications, impurities could interfere with reaction pathways or reduce yields. Buyers often inquire about 'TEP price' based on this guaranteed high purity, recognizing the value it brings to their formulations.

Another crucial parameter is the Acid value, which is maintained at ≤0.1 mgKOH/g. A low acid value indicates minimal free acidic components, which is vital for preventing unwanted side reactions, corrosion, or degradation in sensitive applications like pharmaceuticals and certain polymers. This specification highlights our commitment to delivering a stable and pure product.

The Color specification, ≤20 (APHA), ensures that the TEP is essentially colorless and transparent. This is particularly important for applications where color integrity is a concern, such as in clear coatings, high-clarity plastics, or certain cosmetic formulations. The Refractive index, typically between 1.4050 and 1.4070 at 20/D, is another indicator of product consistency and purity, essential for precise formulation calculations.

Moisture content is carefully controlled to ≤0.1%. Excess water can negatively impact TEP's performance as a solvent or catalyst, and in some polymer applications, it can lead to unwanted hydrolysis. Similarly, the Gravity specification (1.068--1.072) ensures predictable density for volumetric calculations and material handling.

These detailed specifications are not merely technical jargon; they represent our rigorous quality control processes and our dedication to being a trusted supplier of Triethyl Phosphate. For businesses that rely on TEP as a solvent, stabilizer, catalyst, or flame retardant, understanding and trusting these quality markers from their manufacturer is paramount. We encourage you to request our TDS for a comprehensive overview and to contact us for bulk purchase inquiries and competitive TEP price information, assuring you of high-quality product for your critical applications.
