2-Ethylhexyl 2,3,4,5-tetrabromobenzoate

Description:
2-Ethylhexyl 2,3,4,5-tetrabromobenzoate is an organobromine compound primarily used as a flame retardant in various applications, including plastics and textiles. This substance features a tetrabromobenzoate structure, which contributes to its effectiveness in inhibiting combustion. It is characterized by its high bromine content, which enhances its flame-retardant properties. The presence of the ethylhexyl group increases its hydrophobicity and compatibility with non-polar solvents, making it suitable for incorporation into various polymer matrices. The compound is typically a viscous liquid or solid at room temperature, with low volatility, which aids in its stability during processing. However, like many brominated flame retardants, it raises environmental and health concerns due to potential bioaccumulation and toxicity. Regulatory scrutiny has increased regarding its use, prompting research into safer alternatives. Overall, 2-Ethylhexyl 2,3,4,5-tetrabromobenzoate exemplifies the balance between functional performance in fire safety and the need for environmental responsibility.
