Cresyl Diphenyl Phosphate (CDP)
CAS Number: 26444-49-5
Cresyl diphenyl phosphate (CDP) is an aryl phosphate ester flame retardant and plasticizer offering a balance between the plasticizing efficiency of alkyl phosphates and the thermal stability of fully aryl phosphates. It is used in flexible PVC, polyurethane, and cellulose ester compounds where a secondary plasticizer with FR properties is needed. CDP's mixed aryl structure provides lower viscosity than tricresyl phosphate while maintaining good hydrolytic stability and thermal performance.

Applications
- Secondary plasticizer with FR properties in flexible PVC compounds
- Polyurethane foam co-plasticizer and flame retardant additive
- Cellulose acetate and nitrocellulose lacquer flame retardant plasticizer
- Hydraulic fluid and fire-resistant functional fluid component
- Rubber and elastomer compounds requiring both plasticization and FR
Key Features
- Lower viscosity than TCP while maintaining comparable FR performance, simplifying cold-weather processing
- Mixed aryl structure balances plasticizing efficiency and thermal/hydrolytic stability for PVC applications
- Dual function as secondary plasticizer and FR reduces DOP/DEHP level while maintaining flame retardancy
- Compatible with primary phthalate and adipate plasticizers in flexible PVC formulations
