Triisobutyl phosphate/TIBP/CAS: 126-71-6
Description:
Triisobutyl phosphate (TIBP) is a very strong polar solvent, sometimes known as Phosphoric acid triisobutyl ester. It is primarily used as an admixture for liquefying concrete, paper coating systems, and textile auxiliaries. It is mainly used as an antifoaming agent in various aqueous systems, where it can destroy foam and act as a foam inhibitor. TiBP is also used to introduce solutions for synthetic resins and natural rubber. In both ellulose-based plastics and synthetic resins, it is used as a flame-retarding plasticizer. TiBP is employed as a pasting agent for pigment pastes. Due to the limited influence of temperature on the viscosity of TiBP, it also serves as an important component in the manufacture of hydraulic fluids for aircraft. As a very strong wetting agent, TiBP is used in the textile industry and the field of adhesives.

Usage
Triisobutyl phosphate is a common compound used as a plasticizer for plastics. It can be compatible with polymers and enhance their flexibility, ductility, and impact resistance. Triisobutyl phosphate is often added to plastics such as polypropylene, polycarbonate, etc., for the preparation of soft plastic products such as wires and cables, plastic films, pipes, and plastic packaging materials. Used as textile auxiliaries, penetrants, dye auxiliaries, etc; It is also used as a defoamer, penetrant, printing and dyeing agent, ink, construction agent, oilfield additive, etc.
