Triisobutyl Phosphate (TIBP)

Product name: Tri isobutyl phosphate (TIBP) Technical description: Tri isobutyl phosphate is an isobutanol phosphate ester with a polymeric character. It is a processing aid used as a defoamer and air regulator in construction, paper processing, water treatment, paints, petrochemical and textile industries. Typical properties: - Appearance @ 25°C: Clear, colorless liquid - Specific gravity @ 20°C: 0.95–0.99 - Refractive index: 1.41–1.43 - Acid value (%): Max. 3.5 Applications / usage details: - Construction: used as an air-entrainment regulator in concrete production to prevent formation of internal air bubbles. - Textile: used mainly as a defoamer and wetting agent. - Paints and inks: used as a liquidizer/solvent in processes due to its strongly polar solvent character. - Adhesives and resin production: acts as a plasticizer catalyst and foam inhibitor. - Aviation/hydraulic fluids: used in hydraulic oils and additives for aerospace applications because its viscosity shows limited variation with temperature changes. Trade uses: defoamer, concrete additive chemical.
