Description

Tetrabromocyclododecane is a high-performance brominated flame retardant widely recognized for its efficacy in polymer applications. This compound is critical for enhancing fire safety by effectively inhibiting ignition and slowing flame spread in various materials. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the plastics, textiles, and construction industries seeking reliable and efficient flame-retardant solutions.

Application

• Flame retardant for expandable (EPS) and extruded (XPS) polystyrene foams used in building insulation.
• Additive for high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) and polypropylene (PP) in electrical enclosures and appliance housings.
• Flame-retardant treatment for textiles, back-coatings, and upholstery fabrics.
• Component in polymer dispersions and coatings for improved fire resistance.
• Use in adhesives and sealants where fire safety standards must be met.
• Synergistic formulations with other flame retardants like antimony trioxide.
