Description

2,2',3,4,4',6-Hexabromodiphenyl Ether is a brominated flame retardant (BFR) belonging to the polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) class. This compound is valued for its effectiveness in enhancing the fire resistance of various polymeric materials by interrupting the combustion cycle. It is primarily required by manufacturers in the plastics, textiles, and electronics industries seeking to meet stringent fire safety regulations for their products.

Application

• As a flame retardant additive in engineering thermoplastics such as ABS, HIPS, and polyamides.
• Imparting fire resistance to polyurethane foams used in furniture and construction insulation.
• Enhancing the fire safety profile- Formulation of flame-retardant masterbatches and compounds for the electronics and automotive sectors.
  • Use in specialty coatings and adhesives where fire retardancy is a critical performance parameter.
  • Research and development of novel flame-retardant systems and material testing.
