Tricresyl Phosphate By Diamond Chemicals

Tricresyl Phosphate (TCP), the general purpose naturally derived tri aryl phosphate and one of the most permanent monomeric plasticizers available, is most widely used among natural phosphoric-ester due to its characteristics like weather resistance, fire retardancy, electric insulation, low volatility and low solubility in water.

Specification:
* Appearance: Colourless, transparent liquid without suspended matter.
* Sp. Gravity, 20A C/ 20A C: 1.170 A 0.010
* TCP, wt %: 99 min.
* Free Cresol, wt %: 0.05 max.
* Acidity, as H3PO4, wt %: 0.01 max.
* Volatility loss at 125A C for 3 Hrs, wt %: 0.1 max.

Packing: 35 kgs or 200 kgs nett.

Applications:
TCP is used as the plasticizers for vinyl films in agriculture due to its weather resistance property.

TCP is used in insulator compounds for electric cables and also in the synthetic rubber compounds.

TCP is used as a lubricant additive and has been proven effective as a mild extreme pressure additive for synthetic oil.

TCP is used as the base oil for fire-retardence hydraulic fluid for minimizing fire-risk from heat source or electric sparks.

TCP is useful in the clear and dark coloured flame-retardant sheeting where pigmenting or specifying flame retardants are undesirable.

Toxicity:
Tri Cresyl Phosphate exhibits a low level of toxicity. However in case of contact with eyes or skin, flush with plenty of water. Get medical attention if desired.
