What is Bis(2-ethylhexyl) tetrabromophthalate?
Bis(2-ethylhexyl) tetrabromophthalate (CAS 26040-51-7), also known commercially as TBPH or BEH-TEBP, is a brominated additive that delivers both flame retardancy and plasticizing performance within a single component.
Where is Bis(2-ethylhexyl) tetrabromophthalate used?
- Polymer and elastomer systems: halogenated flame protection without sacrificing material flexibility
- Flexible PVC and polyurethane: reactive-compatible plasticizer
- Electronics: wire and cable insulation, connector housings, circuit board coatings
- Automotive and aerospace interiors: seating foams, gaskets, panel linings meeting fire performance specifications
- Building and construction: flame-retardant sealants, adhesives, flexible roofing membranes
- It is essential where UL flame ratings must be maintained in flexible substrates.
Commercial specifications
- Bromine content typically around 46%
- Bulk liquid and intermediate container (IBC) formats
