Product Technical Details

Product Overview

1,2-Bis(2,3,4,5,6-pentabromophenyl)ethane, commonly known in the industry as Decabromodiphenyl Ethane (DBDPE), represents a high-performance brominated flame retardant designed for modern polymer processing. With a molecular formula of C14H4Br10 and a molecular weight of approximately 971.22, this chemical compound is engineered to provide exceptional fire resistance while maintaining compatibility with a wide range of thermoplastic matrices. Our manufacturing process ensures high purity levels, making it an ideal choice for demanding industrial applications where safety and performance are paramount.

This substance appears as a fine white powder, characterized by its high bromine content and excellent thermal stability. These physical properties allow it to withstand the high processing temperatures associated with engineering plastics without decomposing or releasing harmful byproducts prematurely. The chemical structure provides efficient flame inhibition mechanisms, making it a critical component in the production of fire-safe materials for electronics, construction, and automotive industries.

Key Performance Features

  • Exceptional Thermal Stability: With a melting point exceeding 340 degrees Celsius, it remains stable during high-temperature extrusion and molding processes.
  • High Bromine Content: Delivers superior flame retardancy efficiency, allowing for lower loading levels in final formulations.
  • Optimized Particle Size: Fine particle distribution ensures excellent dispersion within polymer matrices, enhancing mechanical properties.
  • Low Moisture Content: Rigorous drying processes guarantee moisture levels below 0.1 percent, preventing processing defects.
  • Compatibility: Designed to work seamlessly with HIPS, ABS, PVC, PP, and other common engineering resins.
