Product Overview
Tributyl Phosphate (TBP, CAS 126-73-8) is a versatile organophosphorus compound serving as a key extractant in metal separation and an efficient plasticizer in polymer applications. This clear, colorless liquid demonstrates excellent solvency with various metals and polymers, making it an ideal choice for metal extraction, plastics, and coating formulations.
With an annual production capacity of 3,000 tons, we reliably support both laboratory-scale trials and industrial-scale procurement. Our packaging options include 200kg drums for testing and 1000kg IBC tanks for production requirements. Classified as a non-hazardous chemical, TBP ships without special certifications, streamlining global logistics and reducing transport costs.
