Description

Dibromoethyldibromocyclohexane is a halogenated flame retardant additive known for its high bromine content and efficacy. This compound is valued for its ability to impart significant fire resistance to various polymer matrices while maintaining material performance. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the plastics, textiles, and construction materials industries seeking to meet stringent fire safety regulations.

Application

• As a reactive or additive flame retardant in engineering thermoplastics such as polyamides (nylon), polyesters (PBT, PET), and polyolefins.
• In the formulation of fire-resistant coatings and paints for structural steel, electrical cabinets, and industrial equipment.
• For enhancing the fire safety of textile back-coatings and fibers used in upholstery, automotive interiors, and protective clothing.
• In the production of fire-retardant adhesives, sealants, and encapsulants for the electronics and construction sectors.
• As a component in wire and cable insulation compounds to meet safety standards like UL 94 and IEC 60332.
• Potential use as a synergistic agent in flame retardant systems alongside antimony trioxide.
• In research and development for next-generation polymeric materials requiring halogenated flame retardants.
