Albemarle Corporation has developed and is commercializing Saytex 102HP flame retardant, a new, high- assay form of decabromodiphenyl ether, or DecaBDE. Patent applications covering both the high-assay product and the processes for its manufacture are currently pending.
This new product is designed to help Albemarle customers and their downstream users meet the strictest interpretation of the European Union (EU) Restriction on the Use of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive and related EU Commission Decisions regarding the use of polybrominated diphenyl ethers, or PBDEs.
As part of its continued commitment to support the sustainable use of its products, Albemarle will work with its customers to maximize the efficient use of Saytex 102HP flame retardant while minimizing overall emissions to the environment.
Albemarle flame retardants help improve the fire safety of polymeric materials found in enclosures, circuit boards and connectors for electronic and electrical devices; comfort foam in furniture and automobiles; wire & cable; and roofing, rigid insulation foam, adhesives, coatings and other construction materials.
