Tetra Bromo Bis Phenol A: Fundamentals and applications

TETRA BROMO BIS PHENOL A , referred to as TBBPA, is a common flame retardant. When added to substances, TBBPA slows the spread of fire or prevents the fire from starting. As such, it is applied to electrical devices, synthetic textiles, and plastic paints to reduce their flammability. TETRA BROMO BIS PHENOL A fundamentals To produce TETRA BROMO BIS PHENOL A, the bromination of bisphenol A happens. In other words, TBBPA is synthesized from bisphenol A. A solvent like a halocarbon with water, a halocarbon alone, or methanol is required for this to happen. A closed system is used to perform the production process because it can form methyl bromide and hydrobromic acid by-products. The purity of most TBBPA products is relatively low. The mixture from the process is not purified, making it a lower-cost, more efficient product. Applications of TETRA BROMO BIS PHENOL A TETRA BROMO BIS PHENOL A finds application as an additive or reactive flame retardant. It is commonly utilized in acrylonitri...
