Features Of GBR-66 Brominated Polystyrene Flame Retardant

  1. High bromine content (66–68 wt%) ensuring excellent flame retardancy in engineering thermoplastics.

  2. Thermally stable up to 300 °C, compatible with high-processing-temperature polymers like PBT and PC/ABS blends.

  3. Low volatility and minimal plate-out tendency during extrusion and injection molding.

  4. Good compatibility with common polymer matrices without compromising mechanical properties.

  5. Meets UL 94 V-0 rating at appropriate loading levels in standard test configurations.

Typical Applications Of GBR-66 Brominated Polystyrene Flame Retardant

  1. Flame-retarded polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) for automotive connectors and under-hood components.

  2. PC/ABS blends used in IT equipment housings and business machines.

  3. Engineering plastics for electrical and electronic enclosures requiring stringent fire safety compliance.

  4. Household appliance components where thermal stability and low smoke generation are critical.

  5. Industrial control panels and power distribution units compliant with IEC 60695 standards.
