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.
