Benzene, ethenyl-, homopolymer, brominated

Description:

Benzene, ethenyl-, homopolymer, brominated, commonly known as brominated polystyrene, is a synthetic polymer derived from the polymerization of styrene with bromine substituents. This compound exhibits several notable characteristics, including its high thermal stability and flame-retardant properties, making it suitable for applications in various industries, particularly in electronics and construction materials. The bromination process enhances its resistance to combustion, which is crucial for safety in many applications. Additionally, this polymer is typically characterized by its amorphous structure, which contributes to its flexibility and processability. It is often used as an additive in plastics to improve fire resistance and can also be found in coatings and adhesives. However, handling and disposal of brominated compounds require caution due to potential environmental and health concerns associated with brominated flame retardants. Overall, benzene, ethenyl-, homopolymer, brominated is valued for its functional properties while necessitating responsible management in its use and disposal.
