Description

Decabromodiphenyl Ethane CAS NO 84852-53-9 is a high-performance brominated flame retardant (BFR) belonging to the class of aliphatic bromine compounds. It is valued for its excellent thermal stability and high bromine content, which provides superior flame retardant efficiency in various polymer systems. This product is essential for manufacturers in the plastics, textiles, and electronics industries seeking to meet stringent fire safety regulations without compromising material properties.

Application

• Primary flame retardant for high-impact polystyrene (HIPS), polypropylene (PP), and polyethylene (PE).
• Key additive in engineering thermoplastics for electrical and electronic components (e.g., connectors, housings).
• Flame retardant treatment for textiles, back-coatings, and upholstery fabrics.
• Used in wire and cable insulation and jacketing compounds.
• Formulation component for adhesives, sealants, and coatings requiring fire resistance.
• Synergistic use with antimony trioxide to enhance flame retardant performance.

Quality Control

Our Decabromodiphenyl Ethane is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for bromine content, thermal stability, and particle size distribution. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and compliance with relevant industry standards, including RoHS and REACH regulations.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizers and heat sources. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed after use to prevent moisture absorption.
