Description

Octabromodiphenyl Ether is a high-performance brominated flame retardant (BFR) additive. It is engineered to provide exceptional fire resistance to a wide range of polymeric materials by interfering with the combustion process at the gas phase. This product is essential for manufacturers requiring enhanced fire safety in their end products while maintaining material processability. It is primarily utilized in the plastics, textiles, and electronics industries where stringent flammability standards must be met.

Application

• Flame retardant for high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plastics used in electronics enclosures.
• Fire safety additive for textile back-coatings, particularly in upholstery, curtains, and automotive interior fabrics.
• Component in flame-retardant formulations for polyolefins, such as polypropylene, used in wire and cable insulation.
• Additive for engineering thermoplastics in applications requiring UL94 V-0 or similar fire safety ratings.
• Use in adhesives and sealants where non-flammability is a critical performance parameter.
• Flame retardant treatment for certain synthetic fibers and non-woven materials.

Quality Control

Our Octabromodiphenyl Ether is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure consistent performance as a flame retardant, with key parameters including bromine content, thermal stability, and particle size distribution monitored. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity and relevant specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Recommended storage temperature is between 15-25°C. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize moisture absorption and dust formation.
