Thermo Scientific™ Tributyl Phosphate (TBP) is a high-purity organophosphate solvent and extractant widely used in hydrometallurgy, solvent extraction chemistry, polymer modification, and analytical sample preparation. With a certified purity of ≥98%, controlled physicochemical properties, and low volatility, this TBP is suitable for laboratory research, industrial processing, and chemical synthesis workflows.
Its excellent performance as an extractant for metal ions—including uranium, thorium, and rare earths—makes it essential in nuclear chemistry and metallurgical applications, while its solvency and compatibility also support organic synthesis, resin modification, and plasticizer formulations.
Key Features
- High-purity (≥98%) Thermo Scientific grade organophosphate solvent.
- Ideal extractant for metal ion separation and hydrometallurgical processes.
- Colourless, odourless liquid with consistent density and refractive index.
- Wide temperature stability (melting point –80 °C; boiling point 155–156 °C at 10 mmHg).
- High flash point (152 °C) enhances handling safety.
- Suitable for analytical sample prep, solvent extraction, and industrial chemistry.
- Available in 250 mL, 1 L, and 5 L glass bottle formats.
