Triethyl phosphate (TEP)

Triethyl phosphate is a high-boiling solvent and a plasticizer for rubber and plastics. It is also used as a catalyst and as a raw material for the production of pesticides and insecticides, as well as for ethylation reactions in the production of ethyl ketone. In Japan, 70% of this product is used as a catalyst, and approximately 20% is used as a solvent.

Its main functions are as follows:

Catalyst

• The catalyst for the isomerization of xylene.
• The catalyst for the polymerization of olefins.
• The catalyst for the production of tetraethyllead.
• The catalyst for the production of carbodiimide.
• The catalyst for the substitution reaction of trialkyl boranes and olefins.
• The catalyst for the high-temperature dehydration of acetic acid to produce ethyl ketone.
• The catalyst for the polymerization of styrene and conjugated diene compounds.
  
  

Solvent

• Solvent for nitrocellulose and cellulose acetate.
• Solvent for maintaining the lifespan of organic peroxide catalysts.
• Solvent for the dispersion of vinyl fluoride.
• Peroxide agent and diluent for curing catalysts for polyester and epoxy resins.
  
  

Stabilizer

• Stabilizer for chlorine-based insecticides.
• Stabilizer for phenol-formaldehyde resins.
• Stabilizer for polyol resins.
  
  

In Synthetic Resins

• As the curing agent for resins such as dimethyl phenol-formaldehyde.
• As the softener for phenol-formaldehyde resins used in shell molding.
• As the plasticizer for vinyl chloride and ethyl acetate polymers
• As flame retardant for polyester resins.
