What Is Trimethyl Phosphate (TMP)

Trimethyl Phosphate (TMP) is an organophosphorus compound widely used as a methylating agent, solvent, and intermediate in chemical synthesis. With the molecular formula (CH₃O)₃PO, TMP is a colorless, non-volatile liquid with a mild odor. Its versatility makes it valuable in industries such as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, flame retardants, and electrolytes for lithium batteries.
