Uses
Widely used as the additive type flame retardant of polyurethane foam, polyurethane resin, epoxy resin and other materials.
The primary commercial use of dimethyl methylphosphonate(756-79-6) is as a flame retardant. Other commercial uses are a preignition additive for gasoline, anti-foaming agent, plasticizer, stabilizer, textile conditioner, antistatic agent, and an additive for solvents and low-temperature hydraulic fluids. It can be used as a catalyst and a reagent in organic synthesis, as it can generate a highly reactive ylide. The yearly production in the United States varies between 91,000 and 910,000 kilograms.
