FAQ0151 What is the restriction concerning Bromine flame retardant?

Answer

PBDPE and PBBs are typical flame retardants to be used for plastics materials. Meanwhile it is preferable to avoid using those retardants in the products because they are prone to generate toxic substances, such as dioxins and freon gas.
Flame retardant for our materials (laminates and prepregs) use bromine epoxy resins and don't use the above PBDPE and PBBs at all.


*PBDPE: PolyBromo Di-Phenyl Ether
Note) PBDPE is also referred to as:
PBDE: PolyBromo Di-phenyl Ether
PBBOs: PolyBromo Biphenyl Oxides
PBDPO: PolyBromo Di-Phenyl Oxide
PBDO: PolyBromo Di-Phenyl Oxide
*PBBs: PolyBromo Biphenyls
