  • Applications

    Bis-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate is an organophosphorus ester that is commonly evaluated for a range of industrial applications. It may act as a plasticizer for polymers (notably PVC) and as a processing aid in coatings and inks. It is used as a solvent or extractant and as an intermediate in the synthesis of other phosphorus-containing esters. In metal processing and hydrometallurgy, it can function as an extractant or chelating component for metal ion separation. It can also be used as a component in lubricant formulations or in surfactant systems to improve dispersion, stability, or film formation. Its use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
