Description
Decabromodiphenyl ethane (CAS 84852-53-9, EC 284-366-9) is a brominated flame retardant with the molecular formula C14H4Br10, commercially available under trade names including Saytex 8010, DBDPE, RDT-3, and Planelon BDE. It carries no assigned E-code and is classified under HS code 29039990.
In plastics and polymer compounding, it functions by releasing bromine radicals during combustion, interrupting the free-radical chain reactions that sustain flame propagation. It is applied in high-impact polystyrene, ABS, and engineering thermoplastics used in electronics housings, automotive components, and construction panels where UL 94 V-0 ratings are required.
Decabromodiphenyl ethane is supplied as a solid powder in technical grade. It is subject to REACH registration requirements within the EU, and procurement teams should verify current SVHC candidate list status prior to sourcing. Standard packaging formats include 25 kg bags, with bulk options available depending on supplier.
