Characteristics
FaRetarTM TBBA flame retardant is a highly pure flame retardant containing very stable aromatic bromine. It is a major component in epoxy oligomers used as additives for styrenic polymers and many engineering thermoplastics. Properties of note are improved polymer viscosity and UV resistance.
Application
FaRetarTM TBBA is a reactive intermediate, or additive, depending on the application.
As a reactive flame retardant, FaRetarTM TBBA flame retardant finds particular application as a reactive monomer in epoxy, phenolic, vinyl esters and polycarbonate resins systems. It is exceptionally suitable where low colour and high clarity are mandatory. TBBA is very cost-effective and once reacted, it is permanent and non-migrating.
As an additive flame retardant, FaRetarTM TBBA flame retardant is widely used in ABS and is an important intermediate in the preparation of more sophisticated flame retardants. It melts blends into these systems, resulting in excellent processability, impact strength and moderate-range UV stability.
FaRetarTM TBBA flame retardant is generally used with a synergist such as antimony oxide for maximum flame retardant performance.
