⭐ What Is TCPP?

TCPP – Tris(Chloropropyl) Phosphate is a chlorinated phosphate-based flame retardant.
It is one of the most widely used halogenated flame retardants for polyurethane foams, plastics, coatings, adhesives, and industrial polymer applications.

Its low cost, high efficiency, and ease of processing make it a popular choice in many industries.

🔧 What Is TCPP Used For?

✔ 1. Flame Retardant (Primary Function)

During combustion, TCPP:

• Reduces heat
• Suppresses free radicals in the gas phase
• Slows or stops flame spread
• Reduces smoke formation

This significantly decreases flammability and improves fire safety.

✔ 2. Polyurethane (PU) Foams

Commonly used in:

• Flexible PU foams
• Rigid PU foams
• Spray polyurethane foams (SPF)

to provide flame resistance.

✔ 3. Plastics

Used in PVC, EVA, TPU, and other thermoplastics to:

• Improve fire classification
• Reduce deformation during burning

✔ 4. Adhesives & Coatings

In certain adhesive and coating formulations, TCPP provides:

• Thermal stability
• Flame retardancy
• Improved flexibility

✔ 5. Construction Materials

Used as a fire-retardant additive in:

• PU-based insulation boards
• Spray foams
• Building fillers and sealants

🎯 Purposes of TCPP

• Increase fire resistance
• Reduce material flammability
• Meet fire safety standards (UL-94, etc.)
• Improve the safety of PU foams
• Reduce deformation and heat effects

🏭 Industries That Use TCPP

• Polyurethane foam manufacturing
• Construction & insulation
• Furniture & upholstery
• Plastics (PVC/EVA/TPU)
• Automotive interior components
• Adhesives & coatings
• Electrical & electronic materials
