Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Tricresyl Phosphate manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Tricresyl Phosphate manufacturing.

• By Phosphorylation Process:  The feedstock for this process includes Cresylic Acid and Phosphorus Oxychloride.

The production of tricresyl phosphate starts with the processing of cresylic acid, also called tar acid, forming cresol. After this, cresol is then reacted with phosphorus oxychloride in a controlled environment that leads to the phosphorylation process. This reaction results in the formation of tricresyl phosphate. The product is then purified to remove any impurities and by-products. The final product is characterized to obtain pure tricresyl phosphate.
 

Properties of Tricresyl Phosphate

Tricresyl Phosphate appears as a colorless to pale yellow-colored liquid with a chemical formula C21H21O4P. It is an organophosphate fluid with no odor and has a molecular weight of 368.37 g/mol. Its melting point is between -40 °C to -33 °C with a boiling point in the range of 240 °C and 265 °C. Its density is in the range of 1.165 – 1.175 g/cm³ and a flash point above 225 °C. It is a non-flammable, viscous liquid that is non-combustible in nature. But it can burn on exposure to fire to emit poisonous gases like phosphorous oxides and phosphine in the air. It is a toxic compound that can cause irritation to the skin and eyes and can cause neuropathy or even paralysis on direct exposure. It is highly insoluble in water and dissolves in certain chemical solvents like hexane, diethyl ether, toluene, etc.
