Tri-o-cresyl phosphate supplier

Name
TRI-O-CRESYL PHOSPHATE
EINECS 201-103-5
CAS No. 78-30-8
Article Data19
CAS DataBase
Density 1.2
Solubility 0.1mgl-1(e)
Melting Point -25 °C
Formula C21H21 O4 P
Boiling Point 410 °C
Molecular Weight 368.369
Flash Point 225 °C
Transport Information
Appearance colorless viscous liquid.
Safety Poison by subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous, and intraperitoneal routes. Moderately toxic by ingestion. Most of the cases of tri-o-cresyl phosphate poisoning have followed its ingestion. In 1930, some 15,000 persons were affected in the United States, and of these, 10 died. The responsible material was found to be an alcoholic drink known as Jamaica ginger, or “jake.” This beverage had been adulterated with about 2% of tri-o-cresyl phosphate. The affected persons developed a polyneuritis, which progressed, in many cases, with degeneration of the peripheral motor nerves, the anterior horn cells, and the pyramidal tracts. Sensory changes were absent. Since 1930 there have been several other outbreaks of poisoning following ingestion of the material. Tri-o-cresyl phosphate is more toxic than the m-form, and much more so than tri-p-cresyl phosphate or triphenyl phosphate. Experimental reproductive effects.
Combustible when exposed to heat or flame. Can react with oxidizing materials. To fight fire, use CO₂, dry chemical. When heated to decomposition it emits highly toxic fumes of PO_x. See also PHOSPHATES.
Analytical Methods:

For occupational chemical analysis use NIOSH: Triorthocresyl Phosphate, S209.
