Technical Specifications

Industrial Applications

The versatility of Tris(2-Chloroethyl) Phosphate allows it to serve critical roles across multiple industries. In the plastics sector, it is extensively used in Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) and polyurethane formulations, both soft and rigid foams. When incorporated into these materials, it significantly improves the Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI), often achieving values up to 26 in rigid polyurethane foam, thereby enhancing fire safety in construction and automotive components.

Beyond plastics, this compound functions effectively as an extreme pressure additive in lubricating oils, improving wear resistance under high-load conditions. It is also utilized in cellulose acetate, nitrocellulose paints, and ethyl fiber coatings to provide flame retardancy and improved weather resistance. In the rubber industry, it is applied in conveyor belts and other flame-retardant rubber products to ensure durability and safety compliance.

Key Performance Benefits

• Enhanced flame retardancy due to phosphorus and chlorine synergy
• Improved water resistance and weatherability for outdoor applications
• Excellent low-temperature flexibility and cold resistance
• Acts as a plasticizer to improve material softness and handling
• Provides antistatic properties suitable for electronic components
• Compatible with diverse polymer systems including PVC and PU

Storage and Handling

To maintain optimal quality, Tris(2-Chloroethyl) Phosphate should be stored in a dry and well-ventilated warehouse away from direct sunlight. It is classified under Hazard Class 9, requiring standard chemical safety protocols. Containers must remain sealed to prevent moisture absorption and contamination. Fire safety measures should be in place, and the product should be kept away from ignition sources. We package this material in 250KG galvanized iron drums to ensure safe global transportation and handling integrity.
