diethyl octyl phosphate

Description:

Diethyl octyl phosphate (DEOP) is an organophosphate compound characterized by its use as a plasticizer and a flame retardant in various applications. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a mild odor, exhibiting good solubility in organic solvents while being less soluble in water. DEOP is known for its low volatility and thermal stability, making it suitable for high-temperature applications. The compound has a relatively low toxicity profile compared to other organophosphates, although it should still be handled with care due to potential health effects upon exposure. Its chemical structure features two ethyl groups and an octyl group attached to a phosphate moiety, contributing to its properties as a surfactant and emulsifier. DEOP is utilized in the formulation of coatings, adhesives, and sealants, as well as in the production of plastics, where it enhances flexibility and durability. As with many organophosphate esters, environmental considerations regarding its biodegradability and potential for bioaccumulation are important in its application and regulation.

Phosphoric acid diethyl octyl ester

CAS: 20195-13-5

Phosphoric acid diethyl octyl ester is a phosphoric acid ester that is used as an additive with inorganic phosphates. It has been shown to form micelles in water, which are monomeric inorganic molecules that are soluble in water. The formation of micelles depends on the concentration of the phosphoric acid diethyl octyl ester and can be calculated using the coefficients.
