Description

Decabromobiphenyl is a high-performance brominated flame retardant (BFR) known for its exceptional thermal stability and efficacy. This compound is critical for enhancing fire safety in a wide range of polymer systems, helping manufacturers meet stringent international flammability standards. It is primarily utilized by the plastics, textiles, and electronics industries to produce inherently safer materials for demanding applications.

Application

• Flame Retardant for Engineering Plastics: Imparts high flame resistance to high-impact polystyrene (HIPS), polypropylene (PP), and polyethylene (PE) used in electronic housings and automotive components.
• Fire Safety Additive for Textile Back-Coatings: Applied to upholstery fabrics, curtains, and protective textiles to reduce flammability and meet safety regulations.
• Circuit Board and Electronic Encapsulation: Used in epoxy resins and other encapsulants for printed circuit boards (PCBs) and electrical components to prevent fire propagation.
• Wire and Cable Insulation: Incorporated into polyolefin and other polymer sheathing for wires and cables to improve fire performance.
• Synthetic Fibers and Fabrics: Added during the polymerization or finishing stages of synthetic fibers like polyester to create flame-retardant textiles.
• Adhesives and Sealants: Enhances the fire resistance of industrial adhesives and construction sealants.
