Usage

General Description

Phosphonic acid, methyl-, di-1-naphthalenyl ester is a chemical compound that is commonly used as a flame retardant in various materials such as plastics, textiles, and coatings. It is also used as a lubricant additive to reduce friction and wear in machinery and as a stabilizer in PVC compounds. This chemical is typically synthesized by reacting phosphorous trichloride with methyl benzoate and then esterifying the resulting phosphonic acid with naphthalene. While it has several industrial applications, there is ongoing research on its potential environmental and health impacts, especially regarding its persistence and potential for bioaccumulation. As a result, there are efforts to find alternative flame retardant and lubricant additives that are more environmentally friendly and have less potential for adverse health effects.
