General Description

1,2-bis(3-bromophenyl)benzene is a chemical compound that is also known as tetrabromobisphenyl A (TBBPA). It is a flame retardant commonly used in the manufacturing of electronic components, as well as in various plastic and rubber products. TBBPA is a white, crystalline solid with a molecular formula of C18H12Br4. It has a high thermal stability and is resistant to chemical degradation, making it an effective additive for enhancing the fire resistance of materials. However, there is growing concern about the potential health and environmental impacts of TBBPA, including its persistence in the environment and possible toxicity. As a result, there are ongoing efforts to find safer alternatives to TBBPA in various industrial applications.
