Chemical Formula C₁₂Br₁₀O

Molecular Weight 959.17 g/mol

Decabromodiphenyl oxide(DBDPO) is a brominated flame retardant widely used in plastics, textiles, adhesives, and electronic components. It is a high molecular weight, thermally stable, and non-volatile compound that helps materials resist combustion. Due to its excellent thermal stability and compatibility with a wide range of polymers, DBDPO is especially favored in applications requiring long-lasting flame resistance.

Industrial Uses

1. Polymers & Resins

  • Flame Retardant for Thermoplastics: DBDPO is extensively used in engineering thermoplastics such as ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene), polypropylene, and polyethylene to meet stringent fire safety standards.
  • Wire & Cable Insulation: Incorporated into the polymer matrix of cable sheathing to improve fire resistance without compromising mechanical properties.
  • Automotive Parts: Applied in interior plastic components to improve their fire safety performance.

2. Fabric Solutions

  • Back-Coating for Fabrics: DBDPO is used in the formulation of fire-retardant coatings for textiles like upholstery, curtains, and drapes, especially in commercial and public settings where fire safety compliance is critical.
  • Carpet Applications: Helps meet flammability requirements for commercial and residential carpeting.

3. Construction

  • Fireproof Adhesives: Added to industrial adhesives and sealants to impart flame resistance in construction and automotive industries.
  • Composite Panels & Insulation Foams: Applied in building insulation boards and decorative wall panels to reduce fire risk and enhance safety.
