Flame Retardant: TIBP acts as a flame retardant by reducing the flammability of materials. When exposed to heat or flames, TIBP decomposes and releases phosphorus compounds that form a protective layer on the material's surface. This layer acts as a barrier, preventing the spread of flames and slowing down the combustion process.
Plasticizer: TIBP is used as a plasticizer in the production of plastics, resins, and coatings. As a plasticizer, it increases the flexibility, softness, and workability of these materials. TIBP helps to improve the flow properties of polymers during processing and enhances the overall performance and durability of the final products.
Solvent: TIBP serves as a solvent in various chemical processes. It has good solvency for a wide range of substances, making it useful in dissolving and dispersing solid or liquid components. TIBP's solvent properties facilitate reactions, aid in the formulation of products, and assist in the extraction and purification of certain compounds.
TIBP is generally considered to have low toxicity. However, as with any chemical substance, it is important to follow proper safety precautions and guidelines when handling TIBP. This includes wearing appropriate protective equipment and ensuring proper ventilation in the work area. It is recommended to consult the safety data sheet (SDS) and follow the manufacturer's instructions for safe handling and use of TIBP.
