Description

2-Ethylhexyl Tetrabromophthalate CAS NO 61776-60-1 is a halogenated phthalate ester specifically engineered as a highly effective flame retardant and plasticizer. Its primary value lies in its ability to impart significant fire resistance to polymer matrices while maintaining material flexibility and processability. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the plastics, wire and cable, and construction materials industries who require reliable flame-retardant additives to meet stringent safety standards.

Application

• As a flame retardant plasticizer for flexible polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in wire and cable insulation and jacketing.
• As a synergistic additive in flame-retardant formulations for various thermoplastics and elastomers.
• In the production of fire-resistant coatings, sealants, and adhesives for the construction industry.
• For manufacturing specialty plastic compounds requiring both flame retardancy and low-temperature flexibility.
• As a component in flame-retardant masterbatches used in compounding processes.
• Potential use in fire-safe hydraulic fluids and other specialty industrial fluids.
