Specification

Brief of DBDPE

Decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE) is a chemical compound that is used as a brominated flame retardant.

Decabromodiphenyl ethane is a type of brominated flame retardant (BFR) that can prevent materials from catching fire.  DBDPE is white or light yellow powder with the molecular formula C14H4Br10. Its structure consists of ten bromine atoms linked to two benzene rings, which gives the materials it is added to a high level of flame retardancy.

Decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE) is a broad-spectrum flame retardant.  Its chemical formula is C14H4Br10, and its relative molecular mass is 971.31.It is a white or light yellow powder that is slightly soluble in water, alcohol, and ether. Its melting point is 357℃, and its theoretical bromine content is 82.3%. The bromine content is high, and it has good thermal stability, UV resistance, and lower leakage compared to other brominated flame retardants.

Application

Decabromodiphenylethane (DBDPE) is a widely used flame retardant in styrene polymers, engineering resins, wires and cables, elastomers, thermosets and masterbatches. 

DBDPE is particularly suitable for use in high-end materials used in the manufacture of computers, fax machines, telephones, copiers, household appliances and many other products.
