Triisobutyl Phosphate is a very strong, polar solvent which can be used as an antifoam agent, in hydraulic fluids, 

extraction agents and for the production of plastics.

Physical form clear, colorless, low viscosity liquid with a specific odor

Health and safety information Safety data and precautions which must be observed under all circumstances are to be found in EU Safety Data Sheet No. 762001.

Hazard label: sensitising

Solubility:

Triisobutyl Phosphate is soluble in common organic solvents such as aliphatic, aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons, alcohols, esters, and ketones.

Triisobutyl Phosphate is only slightly soluble in water (0.05 % by weight at 20°C).

Materials:

Metallic materials such as stainless steel and aluminum, as well as ceramic apparatus

components have proved suitable. Materials suitable for seals are polyethylene, poly- (tetrafluoro)ethylene (PTFE), and graphite.

Strong swelling may occur when plastic (PVC in particular) and rubber components are used as well as upon contact with the interior coatings of vessels.
 
Testing of the resistance is therefore recommended.

Storage:
Where material is stored under the appropriate conditions, the product can be stored for a period of at least two years in the tightly sealed original packaging.

Packaging:
1000 kg IBC container 200 kg metal drum

Antifoam:
Triisobutyl Phosphate is mainly used as an antifoam in various aqueous systems where it has the ability to both destroy foam and act as a foam inhibitor.

Chemical reactions with the product to be defoamed are generally not expected.

 Only in highly alkaline media is slow hydrolysis likely to occur (see also the section on materials).

Method:
Triisobutyl Phosphate can be used both in its supply form and in dilutions of between around 1 : 1 and 1 : 10 in suitable organic solvents. 

The antifoam is best added to the foaming-prone product prior to processing since this then prevents foam formation from occurring at all.

To destroy foam which has already formed we recommend that the antifoam be applied to the foam layer in finely dispersed form; e.g. by spraying. 

Care should be taken to ensure that no aerosols form. If they do form however, occupational safety measures

must be taken to prevent contact with the eyes and skin and to make it impossible to inhale the aerosol.

Additions:

Since antifoam additions depend primarily on the extent of foam development, the required amount must be determined individually for each application. 

Fields of application: has become a proven antifoam for paper coating compositions and is used successfully in wetting agent combinations in textile auxiliaries. 

Other fields of application include concrete additives, glues and adhesives, and drilling fluids. 

Triisobutyl Phosphate is a very strong, aprotic, polar solvent. As such, it is used in the production of solutions of synthetic resins and natural rubber. 

In both cellulose based plastics and synthetic resins, is used as a flame retarding plasticizer.

Triisobutyl Phosphate is employed as a pasting agent for pigment pastes.

Due to the limited influence of temperature on the viscosity of Triisobutyl Phosphate  it also serves as an important component in the manufacture of hydraulic fluids for aircraft.

As a wetting agent, Triisobutyl Phosphate  is used in the textile industry and in the field of adhesives.

Triisobutyl phosphate is a very strong solvent used for liquefying concrete, textile auxiliaries, paper coating compounds, etc. 

Tri-iso butyl phosphate (TiBP) is a very strong, polar solvent. It is mainly used as an antifoaming agent in various aqueous systems where it has the ability to both destroy foam and act as a foam inhibitor.

TIBP is also used in the  roduction of solutions of synthetic resins and natural rubber. In both  ellulose-based plastics and synthetic resins, it is used as a flame-retarding plasticizer.

TIBP is employed as a pasting agent for pigment pastes. Due to the limited influence of temperature on the viscosity of TiBP, it also serves as an important component in the manufacture of hydraulic fluids for aircraft.

As a very strong wetting agent, TiBP is used in the textile industry and in the field of adhesives.
