04 · Handling and storage
Storing and handling Tris(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl)…
Reactivity
TRIS(1,3-DICHLORO-2-PROPYL)PHOSPHATE hydrolyzes slowly when refluxed with an aqueous acid. Under alkaline conditions, it exhibits a slow cleavage. It has plasticizing properties and, as such, may soften or deteriorate certain plastics and elastomers (particularly vinyl-based resin, neoprene and natural rubbers). (NTP, 1992)
