Cresyldiphenyl phosphate

Cellulosics Dimethyl phthalate (DMP), diethyl phthalate (DEP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), dimethyl-cyclohexyl phthalate, dimethyl glycol phthalate, trichloroethyl phosphate, cresyldiphenyl phosphate, some glycolates, some sulfonamides. 

Some triesters increase flame resistance and dye-ability when incorporated into organic polymers (Section 12.15). Triphenyl phosphate and the toxic tricresyl phosphate can be used as flame-retardant plasticisers for various celluloses and vinyls. Tris 2-ethylhexyl phosphate increases the flame resistance of vinyl sheet and enables it to retain low-temperature flexibility. Cresyldiphenyl phosphate finds use both as a plasticiser and as a flame retardant. 

Tricresyl Phosphate n (TCP, TCF, tritolyl phosphate) (CH3C6H4)3P04. One of the most important and earliest of all commercial plasticizers. Also suitable for cellulosics, alkyds, and polystyrene. Like all other phosphate plasticizes, TCP imparts flame retardance and fungus resistance, even when used in amounts as low as 5% of the total plasticizer content. TCP and cresyldiphenyl phosphate are the plasticizers most widely used for these properties. Bp, 430-440° C flp, 216°C (420°F). Known also as TCP. Syn Tritolyl Phosphate.
