Trioctyl phosphate (TOP) has a wide range of applications. Zhongshun Xinke is a representative enterprise in my country.

Trioctyl phosphate (TOP), also known as triisooctylphosphate, has the molecular formula (C8H17O)3PO and is an organic compound. Trioctyl phosphate appears as a colorless, transparent and viscous liquid with no special odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as alcohol and benzene, but insoluble in water. Trioctyl phosphate has the advantages of good chemical stability, good lubricity and corrosion resistance, and has broad application prospects in the fields of medical, chemical, environmental protection and food processing.

The upstream of trioctyl phosphate industry chain supplies raw materials, with phosphorus oxychloride as its core raw material. Phosphorus oxychloride, also known as phosphorus oxychloride, is an important chemical raw material and is widely used in the field of organic synthesis. my country is rich in phosphate rock resources and has many phosphorus oxychloride production companies. Shandong, Jiangsu, Hubei, Anhui and other places are the main producing areas of trioctyl phosphate in my country. In 2022, my country’s output of phosphorus oxychloride will reach 91.367 million tons, setting a record high. The sufficient supply of raw materials has laid a good foundation for the development of my country’s trioctyl phosphate industry.

The midstream of the trioctyl phosphate industrial chain is product manufacturing, with the reduced pressure method and the sodium alcohol method as the main synthesis methods. The reduced pressure method refers to using phosphorus oxychloride and octanol as raw materials, and reacting the two under reduced pressure conditions to obtain the finished product; the sodium alkoxide method refers to preparing an alkali metal alcoholate first, then adding phosphorus oxychloride, and then Complete reaction to produce finished product. In recent years, local companies have continued to increase research on the synthesis method of trioctyl phosphate, driving the production of high-purity trioctyl phosphate to further increase in my country.

According to the “2023-2028 China trioctyl phosphate (TOP) industry market in-depth research and development prospect forecast report》shows that the downstream of the trioctyl phosphate industry chain is in application fields, including medical, chemical, environmental protection and food processing. In the medical field, trioctyl phosphate can be used as a pharmaceutical intermediate to produce topical drugs, injections and oral drugs; in the chemical industry, trioctyl phosphate can be used as chemical raw materials to produce modified plastics, synthetic resins, adhesives and coatings. etc.; in the field of environmental protection, trioctyl phosphate can be used as a soil remediation agent and water treatment agent; in the field of food processing, trioctyl phosphate can be used as a preservative, emulsifier and thickener.

The main players in my country’s trioctyl phosphate market include Zhongshun Xinke, Kemike Biomedicine, Xinya Chemical, Wansheng Chemical, etc. Zhongshun Xinke is my country’s representative trioctyl phosphate company, occupying nearly 50% of the market share. It is currently actively promoting a production project with an annual output of 10,000 tons of trioctyl phosphate.

Industry analysts said that trioctyl phosphate has the advantages of good chemical stability and good lubricity, and is widely used in many fields. As research continues to deepen, the technological maturity of trioctyl phosphate in my country continues to improve, driving its output and quality to further improve. In terms of market competition, my country’s trioctyl phosphate industry is highly concentrated, with leading companies occupying a dominant market position.
