PRODUCT ADVANTAGES
1.Flame Retardant Properties
• Like most organophosphates, TBEP provides a degree of flame retardancy through a gas-phase mechanism. It is often used as a supplementary flame retardant in plastic and rubber formulations.
2.Excellent Solvating Power and Compatibility
• TBEP exhibits outstanding compatibility with a wide range of polymers, including PVC, nitrocellulose, acrylics, and polyurethanes.
• It acts as a powerful solvent and compatibilizer, helping to dissolve resins and create homogeneous mixtures in coatings and adhesives.
3. Highly Effective Secondary Plasticizer
• It is primarily valued as a low-volatility, secondary plasticizer for PVC and other plastics.
•It imparts excellent flexibility, low-temperature properties, and elongation to the final product. It works synergistically with primary plasticizers to improve processability and prevent exudation.
4. Low Volatility and High Permanence
• Due to its relatively high molecular weight and boiling point, TBEP has very low volatility. This ensures it remains in the polymer matrix over time, providing long-lasting flexibility and preventing embrittlement.
5.Wetting and Dispersing Agent
•In coatings and ink formulations, TBEP improves the wetting and dispersion of pigments and fillers, leading to a more uniform finish and stable viscosity.
PRODUCT APPLICATIONS
1. Flame Retardant (Primary Application)
Plastics and Polymers: Used as a flame retardant plasticizer in flexible PVC applications such as wire and cable coatings, conveyor belts, and mining hose covers to enhance fire safety.
Rubber Products: Incorporated into synthetic rubbers to provide both flame retardancy and softening.
Engineering Plastics: Serves as a supplementary flame retardant in various polymer systems.
2. Plastics and Rubber Industry
Flexible PVC Products: Widely used as a secondary plasticizer in flooring, wall coverings, and synthetic leather to provide durable flexibility.
3. Coatings, Inks, Adhesives, and Sealants
Industrial Coatings and Paints: Functions as a solvent and coalescing agent to enhance film formation and flow.
Adhesives and Sealants: Acts as a plasticizer and viscosity modifier, improving elasticity and application properties.
