DOPO-HQ (2-(6-Oxido-6H-dibenz[c,e][1,2]oxaphosphorin-6-yl)hydroquinone)

CAS Number: 98006-68-5

DOPO-HQ is a solid, reactive halogen-free flame retardant derived from the addition of DOPO to benzoquinone, offering two reactive hydroxyl groups for covalent incorporation into epoxy resin networks as a co-curing agent. It provides excellent flame retardancy at low phosphorus loadings (0.8–1.5% P content in cured system) while maintaining high glass transition temperature (Tg) and thermal stability required for high-reliability PCB laminates. DOPO-HQ is widely specified in Halogen-Free CCL products meeting IEC 61249-2-21 and IPC-4101E standards.

Technical Specifications

appearanceWhite to off-white crystalline powder
moisture (%)<0.3
purity (HPLC, %)≥98
melting point (°C)245–255
phosphorus content (%)9.0–9.5
hydroxyl equivalent weight (g/eq)155–165

Applications

  • Halogen-free copper clad laminate (CCL) epoxy systems for PCB manufacturing
  • High-Tg epoxy prepreg for multi-layer PCBs in telecommunications and server equipment
  • Reactive FR co-curing agent in aerospace structural epoxy composite prepregs
  • Encapsulant and underfill epoxy systems for semiconductor packaging
  • Powder coating resins requiring halogen-free flame retardancy

Key Features

  • Dual-functional reactive hydroxyl groups enable covalent bonding into epoxy network for permanent non-leaching FR
  • High Tg retention in cured epoxy systems meets high-reliability PCB requirements (Tg >170 °C achievable)
  • Low phosphorus loading (0.8–1.5% P) sufficient for UL94 V-0 and IEC 61249-2-21 halogen-free CCL
  • Solid form with high melting point allows dry blending with epoxy resin powder for prepreg production
