Product Description
Tridecyl phosphate is a multifunctional chemical additive that combines flame-retardant performance with effective plasticizing properties. It typically appears as a colorless, viscous liquid, is insoluble in water, and dissolves readily in many organic solvents. Due to its favorable compatibility with various polymer systems, it is widely used in PVC cable compounds, synthetic rubber, and protective coating formulations. Its incorporation can improve material flexibility and low-temperature performance while enhancing resistance to ignition and flame propagation. These characteristics make tridecyl phosphate a valuable additive for developing polymer materials and industrial products that require a balanced combination of flexibility, durability, and fire safety.
