Tom,

In the US, Tricresyl phosphate, TCP, is sold for general aviation use as
additive for leaded aviation fuel. It is basicially used as a lead
scavenger to reduce sparkplug fouling. It is also an excellent high
pressure lubricant and has been used as an oil additive.

Can anyone help? I found an article in a very old almanac which referred
to the following:
to render prints translucent apply a solution of:
                                                Tricresyl phosphate 50
parts
                                                Petrol 49 parts
                                                Acetone 1 part
 
                                                                         
        to the back of a print with a broad camel brush or cotton wool
and after 3 or 4 hours the print becomes most translucent!

What is 'Tricresyl phosphate' please?

Tom
