Product Feature: Tributyl Phosphate (TBP)

Tributyl phosphate (TBP) is a clear and water white plasticizer. Since it is also a flame-retarding plasticizer it has a high boiling point. TBP can be used for cellulose esters, lacquers, plastic and vinyl resins. It is a strong polar solvent that can also be used in the production of solutions of synthetic resins and... Read more »

Product Feature: Tri (butoxyethyl) Phosphate (TBEP)

Tributoxyethyl Phosphate (TBEP) is a plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride (PVC), chlorinated rubber and nitriles. TBEP is also an alkyl phosphate flame retardant and has good heat stability.  TBEP can be used in applications needing low temperature flexibility such as a leveling agent for acrylic resin-based polishes. TBEP can also be used for emulsions of floor... Read more »

Formulation 101: Lithium Complex Grease

The first use of grease dates back to ancient times, when man first used animal fats and vegetable oils to reduce friction. Analysis of these crude lubricants shows that lime was sometimes mixed in as a thickener, making this the first complex grease. The science of lubricating technology has come a long way since ancient... Read more »

Specialty Plasticizers: Tributyl Phosphate

Tributyl Phosphate (TBP) is a specialty plasticizer useful in a variety of applications such as coatings, lacquers, ink, as well as plastic and vinyl resins. One of the primary advantages of Tributyl phosphate and other similar Phosphate Ester plasticizers in comparison with Phthalates is that the Phosphate esters have improved fire retardancy properties. While PVC... Read more »

Product Feature: Tall Oil Fatty Acid (TOFA)

Tall Oil Fatty Acid (TOFA), is a viscous liquid that has a slightly yellow tint. A source of low boiling point fatty acid, it is widely used in the production of synthetic lubrication and will have different uses depending on the percentage of Rosin in the TOFA. Rosin is the solid form of resin obtained... Read more »
