Bromide Chemicals for Construction and Building Materials

BFRs are used in the building materials and construction industries.

Brominated flame retardants are an effective way to lessen the flammability of building insulation materials like polystyrene foam board. When this treated insulating material comes into contact with an unintentional fire source, it won't burn as quickly, which can slow the fire's progress and buy crucial time for personnel evacuation and building fire rescue.

Brominated flame retardants can increase the fire resistance of architectural decorative panels, such as some wood composite panels or plastic decorative panels. In the event of a fire, these plates can keep the structure intact for a certain period of time, preventing the flame from spreading rapidly on surfaces such as walls and ceilings. In terms of wire and cable, bromine flame retardants are added to the wire and cable sheathing and insulation materials used in the building. When the cable burns due to overload, short circuit and other reasons, it can restrain the flame from spreading along the cable, prevent the fire from spreading through the cable channel in the building, prevent the small fire from evolving into a large-scale building fire, and greatly improve the fire safety level of the building. Ensure the safety of personnel and property.
