Component in hydraulic fluids
Dibutyl Phenyl Phosphate is a phosphorus flame retardant additive.
Organophosphates, such as dibutyl phenyl phosphate, are susceptible to formation of highly toxic and flammable phosphine gas in the presence of strong reducing agents such as hydrides. Partial oxidation by oxidizing agents may result in the release of toxic phosphorus oxides.
Dibutyl phenyl phosphate
(DBPP) has caused skin irritation in humans
after repeated or prolonged contact.
dibutyl phenyl phosphate is probably combustible.
Moderately toxic by
ingestion. Experimental reproductive
effects. When heated to decomposition it
emits toxic fumes of POx.
