DOPO-HQ (2-(6-Oxido-6H-dibenz[c,e][1,2]oxaphosphorin-6-yl)hydroquinone)
CAS Number: 98006-68-5
Featured inFlame Retardants
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.

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
