Eastman Triethyl Phosphate
I a non-corrosive solvent
Eastman triethyl phosphate is completely miscible with water, ethyl alcohol, acetone, ethyl acetate, chloroform, benzene, xylene, castor oil and isobutyl alcohol and partially soluble in mineral oil. kerosene, gasoline, ethyl ether and carbon disulfide. It shows promise as an ingredient in functional fluids and as a dyeing assistant.
I a mild ethylating agent
Triethyl phosphate may be the answer to your search for an ethylat ing agent. It has been used, for example, in the preparation of N.Ndiethyl aromatic amines, and in synthesizing ethyl ethers of higher aliphatic alcohols.
| a starting material for pesticides
Triethyl phosphate is used to manufacture tetraethyl pyrophosphate ( T E P P ) , a powerful, fast-acting insecticide which hydrolyzes within 48 hours to a harmless residue. TEPP is particularly valuable for early-season or harvest-time application.
a catalyst for specific reactions
Triethyl phosphate is useful as a catalyst in the dehydration of glycols and olefinic alcohols, in the synthesis of esters, and in the polymeriza tion of such monomers as coumarone, styrene, cashew nut oil and tung oil.
I a wax-free, water soluble, low-cost lacquer remover
Here's something to look into. An unusual lacquer remover effective for cellulosic, vinyl and acrylic lacquers, and for air-dried enamels can be formulated with Eastman triethyl phosphate. The lacquer remover requires no wax, softens yet does not dissolve the film, holds well on vertical surfaces, and is non-flammable. The softened film can be readily removed by flushing with water.
