Description

Tribromostyrene CAS NO 61368-34-1 is a halogenated aromatic compound primarily used as a highly effective flame retardant additive. Its value lies in its ability to impart excellent fire resistance to various polymer matrices without significantly compromising other material properties. This product is essential for manufacturers in the plastics, textiles, and construction materials industries seeking to meet stringent fire safety regulations and enhance product safety profiles.

Application

• As a reactive or additive flame retardant in engineering thermoplastics such as ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), HIPS (High-Impact Polystyrene), and polyolefins.
• Flame retardant treatment for textiles, synthetic fibers, and non-woven fabrics used in protective clothing and furnishings.
• Component in fire-resistant coatings, adhesives, and sealants for the construction and automotive sectors.
• Additive for wire and cable insulation to improve flame retardancy and meet industry safety standards (e.g., UL).
• Intermediate in the synthesis of more complex brominated flame retardants and specialty chemicals.
• Used in the formulation of epoxy resins and unsaturated polyesters for composites requiring fire resistance.
