Triethyl phosphate (TEP) is a clear, colorless liquid with a mild pleasant odor. It is also called phosphoric acid and triethyl ester. It is a chemical compound with the formula of (C2H5)3PO4 or OP (OEt)3. The triethyl phosphate is also a triester of phosphoric and ethanol acid. It is available in various grades such as industrial and superior based on application requirements. Moreover, the chemical is highly utilized as an intermediate in the production of tetraethyl pyrophosphate (TEPP). It offers flame retardant properties and is used as a catalyst in various applications. Triethyl phosphate finds its consumption in the chemical catalyst, flame retardant, organic solvent, and pesticide intermediates applications.
The triethyl phosphate is used as an industrial catalyst in the synthesis of acetic anhydride. In a smaller amount, the product is used in the solvents, flame retardants, cellulose acetate, and as an intermediate for the manufacturing of pesticides. Additionally, the triethyl phosphate is also used as a plasticizer for tough and fire-resistant plastics. The innovation in the plastic coupled with rapid growth in the chemical industry will help to boost product consumption. Hence, rising demand will contribute to fuel the triethyl phosphate market growth during the forecast timeline.
However, the triethyl phosphate is highly corrosive in nature, thereby makes it hazardous to many people. This restricts its adoption in various applications and is anticipated to hamper the market growth.
