tridecyl phosphate Chemical Properties

EPA Substance Registry System

Phosphoric acid, tris(decyl) ester (4200-55-9)

tridecyl phosphate Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Phosphoric acid trisdecyl ester is used (in conjunction with methacryloxyethylphosphate) in the steel industry as a method to protect carbon steel from corrosion. Phosphoric acid trisdecyl ester is also used in biological studies with mitoxantrone, a cytotoxic agent that is used to treat various types of cancers (lymphoma, breast cancer, and leukemia to name a few).

General Description

A liquid. May severely irritate skin, eyes or mucous membranes.

Air & Water Reactions

About the same density as water and slowly dissolves in water.

Reactivity Profile

Organophosphates 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.

Health Hazard

TOXIC; inhalation, ingestion or skin contact with material may cause severe injury or death. Contact with molten substance may cause severe burns to skin and eyes. Avoid any skin contact. Effects of contact or inhalation may be delayed. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause pollution.

Fire Hazard

Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce corrosive and/or toxic fumes. Some are oxidizers and may ignite combustibles (wood, paper, oil, clothing, etc.). Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Containers may explode when heated.
