Chemical Properties

colourless viscous liquid

General Description

Clear colorless liquid.

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

Organophosphates, such as trioctyl phosphate, are susceptible to formation of highly toxic and flammable phosphine gas in the presence of strong reducing agents such as hydrides. Partial oxidation by oxidizing agents may result in the release of toxic phosphorus oxides. trioctyl phosphate is probably combustible. Producing noxious gases, i.e. phosphine, phosphorus oxides..

Health Hazard

ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: trioctyl phosphate is a cholinesterase inhibitor.

Fire Hazard

trioctyl phosphate is probably combustible.
