Tributyl Phosphate (TBP)
Product Overview:
CAS #: 126-73-8
Tributyl phosphate is a specialty organophosphate compound used across chemical manufacturing, industrial equipment, and fire protection applications. It is commonly employed as a solvent extraction agent in uranium and rare earth metal processing, where it selectively separates target metals from complex ore solutions. Additionally, it serves as a plasticizer and antifoam agent in industrial equipment and hydraulic fluid formulations, improving performance and reducing foaming during operation. Tributyl phosphate is also utilized as a flame retardant additive in specialty chemical and polymer manufacturing, contributing phosphorus-based fire-resistance properties. Furthermore, it finds applications in general chemical manufacturing processes requiring a versatile organophosphate solvent extractant.
