As polymer materials are increasingly widely used, brominated flame-retardant ABS has become the preferred choice in many industries due to its excellent flame-retardant properties. Recently, industry experts have detailed the key points for selecting this material to help enterprises accurately match their needs.
Brominated flame-retardant ABS mainly relies on two types of flame retardants: brominated triazine and tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBA), both of which need to be compounded with antimony trioxide. Brominated triazine boasts advantages such as yellowing resistance and high impact toughness, with high flame-retardant efficiency and low addition amount. It fully complies with RoHS and Reach environmental regulations, and the injection molding temperature can reach nearly 300 degrees Celsius, making it suitable for long-term use scenarios. Although TBBA has lower cost and can improve material rigidity and fluidity, it only meets RoHS requirements and has been regulated by Reach since September 2025. It also has problems such as yellowing aging and equipment corrosion, and the injection molding temperature must be below 260 degrees Celsius.
Experts emphasize that selection should be closely linked to application scenarios: brominated triazine is preferred for products requiring environmental protection and weather resistance; TBBA can be considered for short-term applications pursuing high fluidity, rigidity and cost sensitivity. Reasonable selection can not only ensure products meet safety standards but also reduce production costs.
