  • Applications

    Decabromodiphenyl ether (CAS number: 1163-19-5) is used as a brominated flame retardant additive in polymer formulations to enhance the fire performance of plastics used in electronics housings and automotive components; it is also employed in polyurethane foams (flexible and rigid) for upholstery and insulation, in coatings and inks to improve flame retardancy, in textiles and fabrics to impart fire resistance, and in adhesives and sealants as a flame-retardant additive; use, scope, and regulatory acceptance are typically defined by local regulations and formulation limits.
