Tributyl Phosphate, (TBP)

Tributyl Phosphate, (TBP)

Tributyl Phosphate is a plasticizer used for cellulose esters, lacquers, plastic and vinyl resins. TBP can also be used as a solvent for inks, synthetic resins, gums, adhesives (namely for veneer plywood) and herbicide and fungicide concentrates. In paper and protective coatings, TBP can be used as an antiforming agent. It is also used as a defoamer in vinyl latex emulsions, rubber-based paints, casein, inks, cement, protein- or resin-based adhesives, and textile sizings.
