Decabromodiphenyl Ethane (DBDPE)

CAS Number: 84852-53-9

Decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE) is a high-bromine-content additive flame retardant used as a replacement for decabromodiphenyl ether (DecaBDE) in plastics and textiles. Containing approximately 82% bromine, it provides excellent flame retardancy through halogen radical chain-interruption in the gas phase. DBDPE exhibits superior thermal stability and UV resistance compared to DecaBDE, making it suitable for demanding engineering plastic applications.

Applications

  • High-impact polystyrene (HIPS) for electronics housings and appliances
  • ABS and ABS/PC blends for electrical and electronic equipment
  • Polypropylene compounds for automotive components
  • Textile back-coating and fiber flame retardant treatments
  • Thermoplastic polyurethane and elastomer compounds

Key Features

  • High bromine content (82%) delivers efficient flame retardancy at low loading levels
  • Superior thermal and UV stability versus DecaBDE eliminates yellowing in white/light-colored parts
  • Not listed on Stockholm Convention POPs list, offering improved regulatory profile over legacy brominated FRs
  • Fine particle size ensures uniform dispersion and minimal impact on mechanical properties
