Triphenyl phosphate (115-86-6) is a colorless crystalline powder with a faint, phenol-like odor. Triphenyl phosphate is practically insoluble in water at 1.9 × 10 7 mg/l at 24 °C (Yalkowsky et al., 2010). It is very soluble in carbon tetrachloride (Haynes, 2010) and is soluble in most lacquers, solvents, thinners, and oils, as well as in alcohol, benzene, ether, chloroform, and acetone (Lewis, 1996). It begins to decompose at about 600 °C in inert gas, and in a large excess of air, complete combustion to carbon dioxide occurs in the range 800–900 °C (Lhomme et al., 1984). Hydrolysis of TPP occurs very slowly in acidic or neutral solutions, but occurs rapidly in alkaline solutions (Barnard et al., 1966). | [Waste Disposal]
Incinerate in furnace
equipped with alkaline scrubber. | [Uses]
TPP is used in fireproofing, in impregnating roofing paper, as a plasticizer in lacquers and varnishes, and as a substitute for camphor in celluloid materials to make the latter stable and fireproof.. | [Uses]
Triphenyl phosphate is prepared by reacting phosphorus pentoxide and phenol (Budavari, 2001), or by reacting phosphorus oxychloride and phenol (Snyder, 1990). One primary use is as a flame retardant in phenolic- and phenylene oxide-based resins for the manufacture of electrical and automobile components, for auto upholstery, and as a nonflammable plasticizer in cellulose acetate for photographic films. It has also been used to impregnate roofing paper. Triphenyl phosphate occurs as a plasticizer in various lacquers and varnishes (O’Neil, 2006), and as a component of lubricating oil and hydraulic fluids (ACGIH, 2012). | [Uses]
Triphenyl Phosphate is used in the insecticidal composition. Also acts as a flame retardant. | [Application]
Triphenyl Phosphate is used in the insecticidal composition. It is also use in hydraulic liquids, and adhesives, inks, coatings, as a plasticizer in lacquers and varnishes, and as a substitute for camphor in celluloid materials to make the latter stable and fireproof. | [Definition]
ChEBI: Triphenyl phosphate is an aryl phosphate resulting from the formal condensation of phosphoric acid with 3 mol eq. of phenol. It has a role as a flame retardant and a plasticiser. It is functionally related to a phenol.
| [Preparation]
Triphenyl phosphate is prepared by reacting phosphorus pentoxide and phenol (Budavari, 2001), or by reacting phosphorus oxychloride and phenol (Snyder, 1990). On a larger scale phosphorus oxychloride and phenol are reacted in an esterification tank with heating. The HCL formed is trapped and condensed, while the crude triphenyl phosphate runs into a large tank where it is purified. | [Production Methods]
Prepared by reacting phosphorus pentoxide and phenol and by reaction of triethyl
phosphate and chloramine-T. On a larger scale phosphorus oxychloride and
phenol are reacted in an esterification tank with heating. The HCL formed is
trapped and condensed, while the crude triphenyl phosphate runs into a large tank
where it is purified. | [Hazard]
Toxic by inhalation. Cholinesterase
inhibitor. Questionable carcinogen. | [Health effects]
Non-industrial:
An allergic reaction in a 67-year old woman to spectacle frames containing triphenyl phosphate was reported. Patch tests with analytical grade triphenyl phosphate in that individual indicated a reaction at concentrations as low as 0.05%. This observation was confirmed in another male patient (Carlsen et al 1986).
Industrial:
Occupational exposure of men engaged in manufacturing triphenyl phosphate produced a statistically significant reduction in erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase activity and plasma cholinesterase activity. There was no evidence of adverse clinical effects in men exposed to triphenyl phosphate for as long as 10 years. Exposure was to triphenyl phosphate mist, vapor, and dust at a weighted average air concentration of 3.5 mg/m3 (Sutton et al 1960). | [Health Hazard]

TPP is neurotoxic, causing paralysis at high dosages. Like tri-o-cresyl phosphate (TOCP), it is a cholinesterase inhibitor. The acute oral toxicity is low. The acute toxicity via subcutaneous administration is low to moderate. The toxic symptoms from high dosages in test animals were tremor, diarrhea, muscle weakness, and paralysis.
LD50 value, oral (mice): 1320 mg/kg
LD50 value, subcutaneous (cats): 100 mg/kg
Cleveland et al. (1986) investigated the acute and chronic toxicity to various species of freshwater fish of phosphate ester compounds containing TPP. The adverse toxic effects occurred at exposure concentrations of 0.38–1.0 mg/L.. | [Fire Hazard]

Triphenyl phosphate was identified as a component in outer covers of brand-new
computer video display units. Concentrations were estimated to be 8 to 10 and 0.3 to 0.5 wt % in 4
and 6 video display units, respectively. The concentrations of triphenyl phosphate in the remaining
8 video display units were <0.02 wt % (Carlsson et al., 2000). | [Environmental Fate]
Chemical/Physical. When an aqueous solution containing triphenyl phosphate (0.1 mg/L) and
chlorine (3 to 1,000 mg/L) was stirred in the dark at 20 °C for 24 h, the benzene ring was
substituted with one to three chlorine atoms (Ishikawa and Baba, 1988). The reported hydrolysis
half-lives at pH values of 8.2 and 9.5 were 7.5 and 1.3 d, respectively (Howard and Doe, 1979).
Decomposes at temperatures greater than 410 °C (Dobry and Keller, 1957) | [Metabolism]
Rat liver microsomal enzymes degraded triphenyl phosphate in the presence of
NADPH, but also in the absence of NADPH. The product of incubation was
diphenyl phosphate. It was clear that the reaction was cytochrome P-450-linked
since the reaction was inhibited by carbon monoxide (Sasaki et al 1984). Goldfish
liver microsomes metabolized only about 10% of triphenyl phosphate (Sasaki et al
1985). Houseflies treated with triphenyl phosphate were analyzed after 24 h and
the presence of diphenyl p-hydroxyphenyl phosphate was confirmed (Eto et al
1975). | [Purification Methods]
Crystallise the phosphate from EtOH or pet ether (b 60-80o)/EtOH.
