Triethyl phosphate supplier Distributor Manufacturer in chennai Taminadu india

Triethyl phosphate is a chemical compound with the formula (C2H5)3PO4 or OP(OEt)3. It is a colorless liquid. It is the triester of ethanol and phosphoric acid and can be called "phosphoric acid, triethyl ester".

Its primary uses are as an industrial catalyst (in acetic anhydride synthesis), a polymer resin modifier, and a plasticizer (e.g. for unsaturated polyesters). In smaller scale it is used as a solvent for e.g. cellulose acetate, flame retardant, an intermediate for pesticides and other chemicals, stabilizer for peroxides, a strength agent for rubber and plastic including vinyl polymers and unsaturated polyesters, etc.

Triethyl phosphate is also a common intermediate in the manufacture of pesticides.

The above scenario assumes that the whole amount of TEP used as flame retarder or plasticizer inGermany is processed at one single site. This is probably not very realistic and the local concentration
would be expected to be much lower. No specific data is available though allowing a refinement of theabove scenario.
use as a solvent:
TEP is also used as an industrial solvent in certain production processes. According to the German producer, TEP is continously recycled in these processes and releases to the waste water are negligeable.there are no data available allowing an estimation of an environmenatl concentration.
