Description

2,4,6-Tribromophenol CAS NO 118-79-6 is a halogenated phenolic compound widely used as a key intermediate and flame retardant additive. Its high bromine content and phenolic structure make it an effective reactive and additive flame retardant for polymers and resins. This product is essential for manufacturers in the plastics, electronics, and specialty chemical industries seeking to enhance the fire safety of their materials while maintaining performance.

Application

• Flame Retardant Intermediate: A crucial building block for synthesizing brominated epoxy resins, polycarbonates, and other high-performance flame retardants.
• Polymer Additive: Used as an additive flame retardant in engineering plastics, textiles, and coatings to meet stringent fire safety standards (e.g., UL 94).
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis for pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and dyes.
• Wood Treatment: Employed in formulations for fire-retardant treatments of wood and cellulose-based materials.
• Research & Development: Utilized in laboratories for developing new flame-retardant materials and studying bromination chemistry.
