CAS 2050-47-7: BDE 15
Description:BDE 15, or 2,2',4,4',5-pentabromodiphenyl ether, is a brominated flame retardant that belongs to the class of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). It is primarily used in various materials to reduce flammability, particularly in textiles, plastics, and electronics. BDE 15 is characterized by its high thermal stability and effectiveness in inhibiting combustion processes. However, it is also known for its persistence in the environment and potential bioaccumulation in living organisms, raising concerns about its ecological and health impacts. Studies have indicated that PBDEs, including BDE 15, can disrupt endocrine functions and may be linked to developmental and reproductive toxicity. Due to these concerns, many countries have implemented regulations to limit or ban the use of certain PBDEs, including BDE 15, in consumer products. As a result, ongoing research is focused on understanding its environmental fate, toxicity, and potential alternatives for flame retardancy in various applications.
