Description

Hexabromobiphenyl is a brominated aromatic compound primarily valued for its flame-retardant properties. This high-performance additive is engineered to enhance the fire safety of various polymeric materials by effectively inhibiting ignition and slowing flame spread. It is a critical component for manufacturers in the plastics, textiles, and electronics industries seeking to meet stringent international fire safety regulations.

Application

• As a flame retardant additive in engineering thermoplastics such as ABS, polycarbonate, and PBT.
• For improving the fire resistance of epoxy resins and unsaturated polyesters used in coatings and composites.
• In the formulation of fire-safe textiles and back-coatings for upholstery and drapery fabrics.
• As a component in flame-retardant masterbatches and compounds for wire and cable insulation.
• For use in electronic housings and components where UL94 V-0 or similar ratings are required.
• In the production of construction materials like insulation foams and panels to enhance building safety.
