Tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP) is a typical organophosphorus flame retardant. When added to polymers, in addition to having self-extinguishing properties, it also has features such as moisture resistance, ultraviolet resistance, and anti-static properties. It is widely used in materials such as cellulose, epoxy resins, and phenolic resins, as well as in daily necessities like textiles, PVC materials, and toys.

product superiority
1. Outstanding flame retardancy——The TCEP molecule contains two flame retardant elements, phosphorus and chlorine, and has excellent flame retardancy. Its vapor can only be ignited directly by a flame at 225°C or above, and it will immediately self-extinguish when the fire source is removed.
2. Good physical properties——It has excellent low-temperature resistance, UV resistance and hydrolytic stability. Only a small amount of decomposition occurs in alkaline solutions, and there is no obvious corrosiveness.
3. Multifunctionality——Besides fire resistance, it can also enhance the water resistance, cold resistance and anti-static properties of the material.
application scenarios
1. Plastics industry——Commonly used in flame retardant paints and coatings with nitrocellulose and cellulose acetate as the base materials, as well as unsaturated polyester, polyurethane, acrylic, phenolic resin and other plastic materials.
2. Rubber industry——It is the main flame-retardant material for flame-retardant rubber conveyor belts, with a general addition rate of 5% - 10%. It can also be used in other rubber products to enhance the flame-retardant properties and physical properties of rubber.
3. Other fields——TCEP can also be used as a separation solvent or extractant for rare metals such as uranium, thorium, plutonium, and technetium, as well as a flame retardant for nitrocellulose coatings, a fire-retardant plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride, a metal extractant, an additive for gasoline, and a processing aid for polyimide.
