Tributyl Phosphate (TBP), while incredibly useful across a spectrum of industrial applications, requires diligent attention to safety and proper handling practices. As a widely utilized chemical, understanding its properties, potential hazards, and best practices for use is essential for all personnel involved. At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we prioritize safety alongside product quality, offering comprehensive information to our valued customers.

TBP (CAS 126-73-8) is an organophosphorus compound known for its moderate toxicity. Exposure can occur through ingestion, inhalation, or skin contact. Key safety considerations include:

  • Health Hazards: TBP can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Ingestion or prolonged inhalation may lead to more significant health effects, characteristic of organic phosphates, including potential neurotoxic effects. Always consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed hazard information.
  • Handling Precautions: When handling Tributyl Phosphate, it is crucial to wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), such as chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and protective clothing. Ensure adequate ventilation in work areas to minimize inhalation exposure.
  • Storage: TBP should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and incompatible materials like strong oxidizing agents. Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent spillage and contamination.
  • Spill Management: In case of a spill, contain the material immediately and clean up using absorbent materials. Dispose of contaminated materials according to local regulations for hazardous waste.
  • Fire Safety: While TBP has a high flash point, it is a combustible liquid. Use appropriate fire extinguishing media such as carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, or foam. Water spray may be used to cool fire-exposed containers.
