In the realm of material science and manufacturing, ensuring fire safety is paramount. This is particularly true for materials used in construction, electronics, and textiles. Advanced chemical additives play a crucial role in meeting these safety standards, and among them, brominated flame retardants have historically been highly effective. At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO., LTD., we are committed to providing innovative solutions that balance performance with evolving regulatory landscapes. Today, we focus on a key chemical intermediate that exemplifies this commitment: our high-performance brominated flame retardant, known by its CAS number 97416-84-7.

This specialized compound, chemically identified as 1,1'-(isopropylidene)bis[3,5-dibromo-4-(2,3-dibromo-2-methylpropoxy)benzene], is a sophisticated additive designed to impart excellent flame retardancy to a variety of polymer matrices. Its primary application has emerged as a critical alternative to Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD), a substance that has faced increasing regulatory restrictions due to environmental concerns. Our product offers a viable and effective solution for manufacturers looking to replace HBCD while maintaining or even improving flame retardant efficacy.

One of the most significant advantages of this brominated flame retardant is its exceptional performance in Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) and Extruded Polystyrene (XPS). These materials are widely used in building insulation due to their excellent thermal properties. By incorporating our flame retardant, manufacturers can ensure that these essential construction components meet stringent fire safety codes, thereby enhancing the overall safety of residential and commercial buildings. The low dosage required for effective flame retardancy means it can be integrated into production processes without significantly altering the material's physical properties or increasing costs disproportionately.

Beyond polystyrene applications, the compound's robust chemical structure, C23H24Br8O2, and its high molecular weight of approximately 971.67 g/mol, contribute to its outstanding thermal stability. This characteristic is vital for polymers processed at high temperatures, as it prevents degradation of the flame retardant during manufacturing, ensuring consistent performance in the final product. Furthermore, its UV stability is a notable benefit, guaranteeing that the flame retardant properties remain effective even when exposed to sunlight or other UV radiation sources over time.

As a versatile chemical intermediate, this flame retardant is also finding applications in textile treatments. It can be incorporated into coatings and finishes to provide fabrics with essential fire resistance, making them suitable for specialized protective clothing or high-risk environments. The ability to achieve a high level of flame retardancy with a single additive streamlines manufacturing processes and ensures reliable safety features.
