Description

Hexabromododecane is a high-performance brominated flame retardant (BFR) widely recognized for its efficacy in enhancing fire safety in polymer materials. Its primary value lies in its ability to effectively inhibit ignition and slow flame spread, meeting stringent fire safety regulations across various industries. This additive is essential for manufacturers in the construction, electronics, and textile sectors who require reliable flame retardancy for their plastic and foam products.

Application

• Flame retardant for expanded (EPS) and extruded (XPS) polystyrene foams used in building insulation.
• Fire safety additive for high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) and other engineering thermoplastics in electronic enclosures and appliance housings.
• Flame retardant treatment for textiles, back-coatings, and upholstery fabrics.
• Additive in polyolefins and unsaturated polyesters for applications requiring UL94 compliance.
• Component in formulations for construction materials like insulation boards and panels.
• Use in adhesives and sealants where fire resistance is a critical performance parameter.
