Description

2-Butoxyethyl Dihydrogenphosphate is a specialized organophosphate ester with significant utility as an intermediate and functional additive. Its bifunctional nature, containing both a phosphate group and an alkoxy chain, makes it valuable for modifying surface properties and facilitating chemical synthesis. This compound is particularly sought after by formulators and researchers in the polymer, textile, and specialty chemical industries for its unique reactivity and surfactant-like characteristics.

Application

• Polymer Additive & Plasticizer Intermediate: Acts as a reactive intermediate in the synthesis of specialized plasticizers and flame retardants for polymers like PVC and polyurethanes.
• Textile & Fiber Treatment: Used as a key component in formulations for flame-retardant finishes and anti-static treatments on synthetic and natural fibers.
• Lubricant & Hydraulic Fluid Additive: Serves as an anti-wear and extreme pressure (EP) additive in synthetic lubricants and industrial hydraulic fluids.
• Metalworking Fluids: Incorporated into cutting oils and drawing compounds as a friction modifier and corrosion inhibitor.
• Surfactant & Emulsifier Synthesis: Functions as a phosphate ester precursor for creating anionic surfactants used in agrochemicals and industrial cleaners.
• Chemical Intermediate: Employed in organic synthesis for introducing phosphate ester groups into larger molecules for various R&D applications.

Quality Control

Our production of 2-Butoxyethyl Dihydrogenphosphate adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Every batch is analyzed using advanced techniques like HPLC, NMR, and titration to ensure consistent purity and chemical identity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, impurity profile, and physical specifications is provided with each shipment to guarantee it meets your precise technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature and acidic properties, the container must be kept tightly sealed and separated from strong bases and oxidizing agents.
