Cresyl Diphenyl Phosphate from Mexico
Cresyl diphenyl phosphate is a mixed aromatic phosphate ester combining cresyl and phenyl groups, used primarily as a flame retardant and plasticizer in hydraulic fluids and engineering plastics. It is a chemically defined ester of phosphoric acid, an inorganic acid of a non-metal (phosphorus), and therefore falls under tariff item 2920.90.00 as an 'other' ester of inorganic acids of non-metals.
