Tribromoneopentyl alcohol

Tribromoneopentyl alcohol (CAS 36483-57-5), commonly known as TBNPA, is a brominated aliphatic alcohol used as a reactive flame retardant intermediate.

Where is Tribromoneopentyl alcohol used?

• Polyurethane foam and rigid foam systems: reacted directly into the polymer backbone to meet fire safety standards
• Construction insulation and furniture manufacturing
• Textile and carpet backings: incorporated into coating formulations for permanent flame retardancy under commercial fire regulations
• Unsaturated polyester resins for construction panels and composite materials: halogen-based fire performance ratings
• Paper and leather finishing treatments: substrate-bound flame retardancy specified by end-use safety requirements
• Unlike additive flame retardants, it chemically bonds into polymer matrices.

Good to know: Unlike additive flame retardants, it chemically bonds into polymer matrices, delivering durable fire resistance that does not migrate or leach over time.

Commercial specifications

• Bulk supply in 25 kg bags or drums, with larger quantities for industrial-scale procurement
