THPC is commonly used to prepare tris(hydroxymethyl)phosphine by treating it with aqueous sodium hydroxide.<ref>Svara, Jürgen; Weferling, Norbert ; Hofmann, Thomas. Phosphorus Compounds, Organic.

This reaction proceeds rapidly, forming insoluble high molecular weight polymers. The resulting product is applied to the fabrics in a "pad-dry process". This treated material is then treated with ammonia and ammonia hydroxide to produce fibers that are flame-retardant.
==Tris(hydroxymethyl)phosphine and its uses==
Tris(hydroxymethyl)phosphine is an intermediate in the preparation of the water-soluble ligand 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane (PTA). This is done by treating hexamethylenetetramine with formaldehyde and tris(hydroxymethyl)phosphine.<ref>{{cite journal | author = Daigel, Donald J. | title = <nowiki>1,3,5-triaza-7phosphatricyclodecane and derivatives</nowiki> | journal = ] | volume = 32 | pages = 40–42 | year = 1998 | doi = 10.1002/9780470132630.ch6 | last2 = Decuir | first2 = Tara J. | last3 = Robertson | first3 = Jeffrey B. | last4 = Darensbourg | first4 = Donald J.}}</ref>
Tris(hydroxymethyl)phosphine can also be used to synthesize the heterocycle, N-boc-3-pyrroline by ring-closing metathesis using ] (bis(tricyclohexylphosphine)benzylidineruthenium dichloride ). N-Boc-diallylamine is treated with Grubbs' catalyst, followed by tris(hydroxymethyl)phosphine. The carbon-carbon double bonds undergo ring closure, releasing ethylene gas, resulting in N-boc-3-pyrroline.<ref>{{OrgSynth | author = Ferguson, Marcelle L.; O’Leary, Daniel J.; Grubbs, Robert H. | title = Ring-Closing Metathesis Synthesis Of N-Boc-3-Pyrroline | volume = 80 | pages = 85 | year = 2003 | prep = v80p0085}}</ref>
The hydroxymethyl groups on THPC undergo replacement reactions when THPC is treated with α,β-unsaturated nitrile, acid, amide, and epoxides. For example, base induces condensation between THPC and acrylamide with displacement of the hydroxymethyl groups. (Z = CONH<sub>2</sub>)


THPC can condense with many other types of monomers in addition to urea. These monomers include amines, phenols and polybasic acids and anhydrides.

==Tris(hydroxymethyl)phosphine and its uses==
Similar reactions occur when THPC is treated with acrylic acid; only one hydroxymethyl group is displaced, however.<ref>{{cite journal | author = Vullo, W. J. | title = Hydroxymethyl Replacement Reactions of Tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium Chloride | journal = ] | year = 1966 | volume = 58 | issue = 4 | pages = 346–349 | doi = 10.1021/i360020a011}}</ref>

This conversion is achieved by treating ] with formaldehyde and tris(hydroxymethyl)phosphine.<ref>{{cite book | author = Daigel, Donald J. | journal = ] | volume = 32 | pages = 40–42 | doi = 10.1002/9780470132630.ch6 | last2 = Decuir | first2 = Tara J. | last3 = Robertson | first3 = Jeffrey B. | last4 = Darensbourg | first4 = Donald J. | chapter = 1,3,5-Triaz-7-Phosphatricyclo&#91;3.3.1.1 <sup>3,7</sup> &#93;Decane and Derivatives | title = Inorganic Syntheses | date = 2007 | isbn = 978-0-470-13263-0}}</ref>

==Application in Textiles==
THPC has industrial importance in the production of crease-resistant and ] ] on cotton textiles and other cellulosic fabrics. A flame-retardant finish can be prepared from THPC by the ”Proban Process, in which THPC is treated with urea. The urea condenses with the hydroxymethyl groups on THPC. The phosphonium structure is converted to ] as the result of this reaction.<ref>{{cite journal | author = Reeves, Wilson A.; Guthrie, John D. | title = Intermediate for Flame-Resistant Polymers-Reactions of Tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium Chloride | journal = ] | year = 1956 | volume = 48 | issue = 1 | pages = 64–67 | doi = 10.1021/ie50553a021}}</ref>
