Description

Tricetyl Phosphate is a high-purity organic phosphate ester, also known as trihexadecyl phosphate, with the CAS number 56827-95-3. This compound serves as a versatile and effective non-ionic surfactant, lubricant, and anti-static agent in demanding industrial formulations. It is particularly valued in the production of specialty polymers, advanced lubricants, and high-performance coatings where thermal stability and compatibility are critical. Key industries that utilize this product include plastics, textiles, and specialty chemical manufacturing.

Application

• As a lubricant and anti-wear additive in synthetic oils and greases for high-temperature applications.
• As a plasticizer and processing aid in the manufacture of PVC and other specialty polymers to improve flexibility and flow.
• As an anti-static agent in synthetic fibers and plastics to prevent dust accumulation and electrical discharge.
• As a surfactant and emulsifier in industrial cleaning formulations and metalworking fluids.
• As a corrosion inhibitor in lubricant and coating systems for metal protection.
• As a stabilizer and viscosity modifier in specialty adhesives, sealants, and inks.
• As a intermediate in the synthesis of more complex phosphate esters and specialty chemicals.
