Triethyl Phosphate (TEP) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- TEP
- Phosphoric Acid Triethyl Ester
- C6H15O4P
Triethyl phosphate supplier in Malaysia for plastics processors, polyurethane formulators, coatings manufacturers and speciality chemical producers sourcing a liquid phosphate ester. Also called TEP or phosphoric acid triethyl ester, it can serve as a plasticiser, solvent, flame-retardant component or intermediate.
Industrial grade covers general polymer, resin and coating applications, while low-moisture material addresses water-sensitive polyurethane and reactive systems. Reagent grade supports laboratory synthesis and formulation development with tighter analytical controls.
Buyers commonly compare assay, water, acidity, colour, density, refractive index and application-specific impurity limits. Triethyl phosphate is a distinct chemical from tributyl phosphate, triphenyl phosphate and finished flame-retardant blends.

Triethyl Phosphate grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Industrial-grade triethyl phosphate | clear liquid | — | Phosphate-ester plasticiser, solvent or flame-retardant component for plastics, resins and coatings against an agreed purity and moisture specification. | Pack format is confirmed with the quotation. |
| Low-moisture triethyl phosphate | controlled-moisture clear liquid | — | Polyurethane, resin and reactive formulation processes where water and acidity must be limited by the receiving specification. | Pack format is confirmed with the quotation. |
| Reagent-grade triethyl phosphate | high-purity clear liquid | — | Laboratory synthesis, reaction development and analytical work that requires tighter assay, water, acidity and impurity controls. | Pack format is confirmed with the quotation. |

Safety and handling
Keep tightly closed in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place away from heat and incompatible materials. Protect from moisture and contamination and follow the handling information for the quoted grade.
Common questions about triethyl phosphate
Is triethyl phosphate the same as TEP?
Yes. TEP is the common abbreviation for triethyl phosphate, also known as phosphoric acid triethyl ester. The abbreviation should not be confused with other phosphate esters or a supplier's formulated blend.
Which triethyl phosphate grade should a buyer request?
Industrial grade suits general plastics, resin and coatings work, while a low-moisture grade is appropriate for water-sensitive polyurethane or reactive systems. Reagent grade addresses laboratory and development work with tighter analytical controls.
How does TEP function in plastics and coatings?
Triethyl phosphate can act as a plasticiser, solvent and phosphorus-containing flame-retardant component in selected formulations. Actual compatibility, processing and flame performance depend on the full formulation and must be assessed in the finished material.
Which specifications are useful for triethyl phosphate?
Buyers commonly state assay, water, acidity, colour, density, refractive index and any process-specific impurity limits. Polyurethane and reactive resin users should make the required water limit explicit.
Is triethyl phosphate interchangeable with tributyl phosphate?
No. Both are phosphate esters, but their molecular structures, physical properties and process behaviour differ. Specify triethyl phosphate by name, CAS and formula when substitution would affect the formulation.
What details are needed for a TEP quotation in Malaysia?
Send the grade, application, assay and water specification, quantity, preferred packing, required product documents and delivery location. Available packing, documentation and timing are confirmed with the quotation.
