Fire safety is a fundamental concern in the design and manufacturing of a vast array of products. Chemical additives known as flame retardants are essential for mitigating fire risks, and among the most effective classes are brominated flame retardants (BFRs). These compounds work through complex chemical mechanisms to inhibit or suppress combustion. At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO., LTD., we are specialists in advanced chemical intermediates, including high-performance BFRs like our product designated by CAS number 97416-84-7.

The compound, 1,1'-(isopropylidene)bis[3,5-dibromo-4-(2,3-dibromo-2-methylpropoxy)benzene], is meticulously synthesized to deliver potent flame retardancy. Its chemical formula, C23H24Br8O2, and a substantial molecular weight of 971.67 g/mol, signify a molecular architecture rich in bromine atoms. When exposed to heat, these bromine atoms are released as hydrogen bromide (HBr) or bromine radicals, which efficiently scavenge highly reactive free radicals (like H• and OH•) in the flame zone. This gas-phase action interrupts the exothermic chain reactions that sustain combustion, effectively quenching the flame.

Our brominated flame retardant is particularly noteworthy for its role as a replacement for HBCD. This is critical for industries that previously relied on HBCD but now need to adhere to stricter environmental regulations. In applications such as Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) and Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) – commonly used in building insulation – our additive provides a solution that is both compliant and highly effective. It allows manufacturers to achieve superior flame resistance properties without significantly impacting the material's thermal insulation capabilities or processability.

Beyond its effectiveness in polystyrene foams, this compound boasts excellent thermal stability. This means it can withstand the high temperatures commonly encountered during polymer processing, such as extrusion and injection molding, without decomposing. This stability is crucial for ensuring that the flame retardant functions reliably throughout the product’s lifecycle. Moreover, its inherent UV stability protects it from degradation caused by sunlight, preserving its efficacy over time in applications exposed to the elements.

As a versatile chemical intermediate, its utility extends to other polymer types and textile applications where fire resistance is a key requirement. The compound's ability to integrate seamlessly into various matrices makes it a valuable tool for achieving enhanced safety standards across diverse manufacturing sectors.
