Reactivity Profile
Organophosphates, such as trioctyl phosphate, are susceptible to formation of highly toxic and flammable phosphine gas in the presence of strong reducing agents such as hydrides. Partial oxidation by oxidizing agents may result in the release of toxic phosphorus oxides. trioctyl phosphate is probably combustible. Producing noxious gases, i.e. phosphine, phosphorus oxides.. |

Health Hazard
ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: trioctyl phosphate is a cholinesterase inhibitor. |
|
Fire Hazard
trioctyl phosphate is probably combustible. |
