Chemical Properties
Colorless liquid; characteristic odor. Miscible with most common
organic solvents; insoluble in water and hydrolyzes
in water. Undergoes intramolecular isomerization at higher temperatures, exposure to air should be
minimum. Combustible.
Uses
Tris(chloroethyl) phosphite acts as a flame retardant and plasticizer.
Air & Water Reactions
Unstable to heat, moisture and prolonged exposure to air. Decomposes in water.
Reactivity Profile
