Usage

Uses

Used in Plastics Industry:
Escapeflam DK-15 is used as a fire retardant for plastics to improve their fire resistance and reduce the risk of fire-related accidents. This application is particularly important in industries where plastic materials are widely used, such as electronics, automotive, and construction.
Used as a Flame Retardant:
Escapeflam DK-15 is used as a flame retardant to slow down the spread of fire and provide additional safety measures in various applications. Its effectiveness in reducing the flammability of materials makes it a valuable component in the development of fire-resistant products.
Used as an Organochlorine Pollutant:
Although Escapeflam DK-15 is a chlorinated polycyclic compound, it is also used as an organochlorine pollutant. This application highlights the dual nature of the compound, as it can be both a beneficial fire retardant and a potential environmental concern due to its organochlorine content.

Process for the preparation of Diels-Alder adducts of halogenated cyclopentadienes

An improved process for the preparation of solid Diels-Alder adducts of halogenated cyclopentadienes and mono- or diolefins is disclosed wherein the reactants are combined in an aqueous emulsion. The adducts are obtained in excellent yield and in an extremely fine particulate form. The new process avoids the use of organic solvents which are relatively costly, hazardous to use, and from which the adducts are usually obtained as relatively large crystals which require pulverization prior to use.
