Tripropyl Phosphorothioate Flame Retardant Intermediate

A high-purity grade of 2,4,6-tripropyl-1,3,5,2,4,6-trioxatriphosphinane 2,4,6-trioxide used specifically as an intermediate in synthesizing phosphorus-based flame retardants for plastics. Classified under HTS 2931.46.00.00 due to its precise organo-phosphorus cyclic structure without halogens. Supplied as white crystalline powder for industrial chemical processing.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2931Same rate: 38.7%

If for simpler trialkyl phosphites without the complex trioxatriphosphinane ring

Less complex organo-phosphorus compounds like PO(OR)3 structures fall earlier in 2931; the specific cyclic structure dictates 2931.46 placement.

2909.60.20.00Higher: 40.5% vs 38.7%

If containing alcohol functions making it classifiable as monocarboxylic acid derivative

Chapter notes require oxygen-function compounds to classify later; pure organo-inorganic phosphorus takes precedence over any minor functional groups.

Import Tips & Compliance

Provide detailed end-use statement specifying flame retardant synthesis to support classification and avoid reclassification as finished additive

Confirm batch testing for phosphorus content >40% to distinguish from generic organophosphorus mixtures

Register under TSCA Premanufacture Notification if annual import volume exceeds 10,000 lbs
