open-in-new
<p>Tris(1,3-dichloroisopropyl)phosphate (TDCPP) is a <a href="/facts/Organochloride/IbblBkcB">chlorinated</a> <a href="/facts/Organophosphate/u4U9GS4z">organophosphate</a>. Organophosphate chemicals have a wide variety of applications and are used as <a href="/facts/Flame_retardant/0dpdUCYh">flame retardants</a>, <a href="/facts/Pesticide/Uhf4KnwJ">pesticides</a>, <a href="/facts/Plasticizer/RjzuplRY">plasticizers</a>, and <a href="/facts/Nerve_agent/5UcsLz9R">nerve gases</a>. TDCPP is structurally similar to several other organophosphate flame retardants, such as <a href="/facts/Tris(2-chloroethyl)_phosphate/BJQ7EKEv">tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate</a> (TCEP) and tris(chloropropyl)phosphate (TCPP). TDCPP and these other chlorinated organophosphate flame retardants are all sometimes referred to as "chlorinated tris". </p>
