As a flame retardant, plasticizer and extractant, Tris(2-ethylhexyl) Phosphate (TOP) is widely used in the production of chemical enterprises, and its most important use is the production of hydrogen peroxide.

Application:
Tris(2-ethylhexyl) Phosphate (TOP) is now chiefly used as a processing solvent,instead of hydroterpineol,for producing hydrogen peroxide by anthraquinone process. It is an ideal solvent in this process,for its low volatility and good extraction distribution coefficient.
TOP is also a cold-resisting and fire-retarding plasticizer applied in ethylenic and cellulosic resins,synthetic rubbers. The cold resisting property is superior to adipate esters.
