Alfa Chemistry's DBDPE is formulated to meet the highest industry standards, offering long-lasting performance in flame-retardant applications.
Key Features
High Bromine Content
- DBDPE's high bromine content makes it an effective flame retardant by releasing bromine during combustion to suppress fire.
Outstanding Thermal Stability
- It demonstrates remarkable resistance to heat, allowing it to maintain its effectiveness even in high-temperature environments.
Excellent UV Resistance
- DBDPE's stability against UV light ensures its long-term performance when exposed to sunlight or artificial lighting.
Low Extractability
- This compound exhibits minimal leaching, ensuring that it remains embedded within the materials over time and continues to provide flame-retardant properties.
Insolubility in Solvents
- DBDPE is almost insoluble in most solvents, which adds to its stability and resistance to degradation in various polymer matrices.
