CAS 32534-81-9: Pentabromodiphenyl ether

Description: Pentabromodiphenyl ether (PBDE) is a brominated flame retardant that belongs to a class of compounds known for their ability to inhibit the spread of fire. Its chemical structure consists of two phenyl rings connected by an ether linkage, with five bromine atoms substituted on the aromatic rings. PBDE is characterized by its high thermal stability and low volatility, making it effective in various applications, particularly in plastics, textiles, and electronics. However, it is also known for its persistence in the environment and potential bioaccumulation in living organisms. PBDEs, including pentabromodiphenyl ether, have raised concerns due to their potential endocrine-disrupting effects and toxicity, leading to regulatory scrutiny and restrictions in many regions. The compound is typically found in solid form and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Its use has declined in recent years due to environmental and health concerns, prompting the search for safer alternatives in flame retardant applications.
