PCl3 is important indirectly as a precursor to PCl5, POCl3 and PSCl3. which in turn enjoy many applications in herbicides, insecticides, plasticisers, oil additives, and flame retardants.

For example oxidation of PCl3 gives POCl3, which is used for the manufacture of triphenyl phosphate and tricresyl phosphate, which find application as flame retardants and plasticisers for PVC. They are also used to make insecticides such as diazinon.
