Triethyl phosphate [78-40-0] is a colorless, corrosive liquid. Combustible. Slowly dissolves in water and sinks in water. Severely irritates skin, eyes and mucous membranes. It is manufactured from diethyl ether and phosphorus pentoxide via a metaphosphate intermediate.

The main uses are high boiling point solvents, plasticizers for rubber and plastics, which can be used as halogen-free flame retardants, and also used as raw materials for preparing pesticide insecticides and ethylating reagents.

Triethyl phosphate has been used commercially as an additive for polyester laminates and in cellulosics. In polyester resins it functions as a viscosity depressant and as a flame retardant. The viscosity-depressant effect of triethyl phosphate in polyester resin permits high loadings of alumina trihydrate,a fire-retardant smoke-suppressant filler. Triethyl phosphate has also been employed as a flame-resistant plasticizer in cellulose acetate.Because of its water solubility the use of triethyl phosphate is limited to situations where weathering resistance is unimportant.The halogenated alkyl phosphates are generally used for applications where lower volatility and greater resistance to leaching are required.

Triethyl phosphate appears as a colorless, corrosive liquid. Combustible. Slowly dissolves in water and sinks in water. Severely irritates skin, eyes and mucous membranes.

Extensively used as rubber,plastic plasticizer. Also can be used as the material that make for the agricultural insecticide,and used as the ethylating reagent and catalyzer in the production of ketene.

As high boiling point solvent in nitrocellulose and cellulose acetate;

As stabilizer of insecticide, Bakelite and organic oxide;

As catalyst of xylene isomers, carbodiimide;

As fire retardant of polyester resin

As plasticizer of cellulose acetate, unsaturated polyester and ethenyl ethanoate polymer;

It is widely applied in medical, pesticide, ketene, resin and hydraulic oil fields.

It can also be used as Catalyst for many chemical manufacturing. Furthermore, TEP is an excellent solvent for fluorinated ethylene, nitrocellulose and many metallic oxide agents.
