Uses and applications

What the substance is used for, by industry and function

Flame retardant substance for various applications, such as plastic and rubber materials, electrical and electronic equipment, adhesives and sealants.

DBDPE was introduced more than twenty years ago and it has, at least during the last decade, been used as a substitute for decabrominated diphenyl ether (BDE-209) and therefore it is currently used in more or less the same applications as BDE-209, such as manufacture of plastics (including polyester and vinyl ester resins) and rubber products as well as in different applications related to manufacture of textiles and leather. The compound is also used in polymers used for electronic and electrical applications. DBDPE could also be used in adhesives and sealants.

Plastics -> Typical concentration range in plastic materials -> 15.0 - 35.0%.
