Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Distinguish from triphenyl phosphate; phosphite stabilizers oxidize to phosphates during use

β€’ Provide polymer processing end-use documentation to support classification

Triphenyl Phosphate

Triphenyl phosphate is an aromatic ester of phosphoric acid used as a flame retardant in plastics and resins. It falls under HTS 2920.90.2000 as an aromatic ester of an inorganic acid (phosphoric acid) of a nonmetal (phosphorus), excluding hydrogen halides. Its structure features three phenyl groups attached to the phosphate core.

Cresyl Diphenyl Phosphate

Mixed aromatic phosphate ester combining cresyl and phenyl groups, used in hydraulic fluids and flame retardants. Falls under HTS 2920.90.2000 as 'other' aromatic esters of phosphoric acid. Chemically defined with specific CAS 26444-49-5.

Diphenyl Phosphorochloridite

Aromatic chloridite ester used as intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis and organophosphorus chemistry.
