Physical and Chemical Properties
This organophosphorus liquid exhibits distinct physical properties that facilitate its handling and integration into industrial processes. It possesses a density of approximately 1.072 g/mL at 25 degrees Celsius. The boiling point is recorded between 50 to 51 degrees Celsius at 2 mm Hg, indicating its volatility under reduced pressure. The melting point is around -70 degrees Celsius, ensuring it remains liquid under most storage conditions. With a flash point of 180 degrees Fahrenheit, appropriate safety measures should be implemented during storage and transport. The refractive index is typically 1.407 at 20 degrees Celsius, serving as a key identifier for quality verification.
Industrial Applications
The primary application of Diethyl phosphonate lies in the manufacturing of agricultural chemicals. It serves as a critical intermediate in the production of prominent herbicides and pesticides. Specific downstream products include Kitazine, Phosfolan, and Glyphosate. Beyond agrochemicals, it is employed in various organic synthesis routes where phosphorus incorporation is required. The high purity grade we supply ensures minimal side reactions, optimizing yield and efficiency for our clients' manufacturing processes.
