Tris(2-butoxyethyl) phosphate is a trialkyl phosphate in which the alkyl group specified is 2-butoxyethyl.
Tris(2-butoxyethyl) phosphate has a role as an environmental contaminant and a flame retardant.
Tributoxyethyl phosphate is a slightly yellow viscous liquid.
Tributoxyethyl Phosphate (TBEP) is used as a plasticizer for PVC, chlorinated rubber, and nitriles due to its flame retardant nature and good low temperature flexibility.
TBEP is also used for emulsions of floor polishes, as leveling agent in latex paints and waxes, a processing aid for acrylonitrile rubber, and an antiblock agent for cast polyurethanes.
Tributoxy ethyl phosphate (TBEP) is a phosphate ester that, thanks to its structure, can be used in many applications including plasticisation, solvation, flame retardancy and defoaming.
Tributoxy ethyl phosphate (TBEP) is in fact a multifunctional additive that may be used to modify the properties of many polymer systems and is a particularly good levelling aid and coalescent additive for emulsion polymers.
Tributoxy ethyl phosphate (TBEP) is used in a mixed solvent/aqueous system as a defoamer during production and as a secondary plasticiser in many polymers. The above properties in combination with inherent flame retardancy makes Tributoxy ethyl phosphate (TBEP) a real multifunctional additive essential to many polymer formulations.
TBEP is a light-colored, high-boiling, non-flammable viscous liquid.
TBEP is generally used as a plasticizer in rubber and plastics, and aids in floor polish formation (as well as in other surface coatings), leveling and improves gloss.
TBEP is a clear, colorless liquid.
TBEP is a phosphine oxide and thus very stable in nature.
TBEP has many applications including plasticizing agent in acrylic based polishes, defoamer agent in acrylics, “knockdown” defoamer in paint, textile and paper and as a halide free flame retardant in polymer systems.
Tris(2-butoxyethyl) phosphate is an organic flame retardant.
Tris(2-butoxyethyl) phosphate is also used to add flexibility in vinyl resins, other plastics, natural and synthetic rubbers, and floor finishes and waxes.
Tris(2-butoxyethyl) phosphate is a flame-retardant plasticizer.
Tris(2-butoxyethyl) phosphate is mainly used for flame-retardant and plasticizing of polyurethane resin, cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, etc.
Tris(2-butoxyethyl) phosphate has good low-temperature characteristic.
Tris (2-butoxyethyl) phosphate can be obtained by the reaction of the reaction of phosphorus oxychloride and 2-butoxyethanol .
Tris (2-butoxyethyl) phosphate is a flammable, hardly inflammable, colorless to yellowish liquid that is sparingly soluble in water.
Tris (2-butoxyethyl) phosphate is used as an organic flame retardant , as well as in floor care products, as a solvent in resins, as a viscosity modifier in plastisols and as a plasticizer in rubber stoppers.
Tris(2-butoxyethyl) phosphate is mainly used as floor polishing agent and processing agent of water-based adhesive, flame retardant and plasticizer of acrylonitrile type rubber, cellulose acetate, epoxy resin, ethyecellulose, polyvinyl acetate, thermoplastic and thermosetting polyurethane.
Tris(2-butoxyethyl) phosphate is also used as defoamer in coating, detergent and textiles.
Moreover, TBEP can be also used in nitrocellulose, ethyecellulose and acrylic plastic plasticizer.
Tributoxyethyl Phosphate (TBEP) is a plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride (PVC), chlorinated rubber and nitriles.
TBEP is also an alkyl phosphate flame retardant and has good heat stability.
TBEP can be used in applications needing low temperature flexibility such as a leveling agent for acrylic resin-based polishes.
TBEP can also be used for emulsions of floor finishes, leveling agent in latex paint, a processing aid for acrylonitrile rubber, antiblock agent for cast polyurethanes.
As a plasticizer, TBEP, incorporates readily and is a non-reactive, medium viscosity liquid.
TBEPs high solvency makes it a great product for natural and synthetic resins and compatible with waxes.
TBEP is used commercially in floor polishes, paper coatings and as an antifoaming agent in ore beneficiations.
TBEP also finds uses in vinyl plastics.
Applications
In acrylic based polishes where TBEPs coalescent and plasticising properties will improve levelling and gloss, enabling a "dry bright" finish to be obtained.
TBEP will also reduce surface defects such as streaking, crazing, and powdering.
Tributoxy ethyl phosphate (TBEP) is used also in acrylic gloss paint formulations as a coalescent and defoamer.
Tributoxy ethyl phosphate (TBEP) also helps to improve pigment wetting and rheological properties with a minimal effect on reflectance Tributoxy ethyl phosphate (TBEP) is a highly effective "knockdown" defoamer used extensively in paint, textile and paper industries.
Tributoxy ethyl phosphate (TBEP) is also used as a halogen free flame retardant additive in polymer systems.
TBEP can be used also in conjunction with other flame retardants.
Film formulation
• Permanent plasticizer - helps build solids
• Primary function: film formation
• Secondary function: leveling aid and gloss build
• TBEP is 2X more efficient than standard coalescents to aid film formulation
Compatibility
Compatible with countless different chemistries, including wax emulsions, styrene acrylic copolymers, styrenes, polystyrenes, etc.
Flame retardant
TBEP is an alkyl flame retardant and plasticizer, which can be used in many PVC and coatings applications.
Excellent benefits
TBEP provides low temperature flexibility, good resilience, low compression set, and is non-reactive.
