Brominated Flame Retardant Products

Great Lakes offers the industry's broadest range of brominated flame retardants. Effective flame retardancy in urethane furniture and automotive foam can be found with the new Firemaster® 550, replacing pentabromodiphenyl oxide formulations. Utilitarian and containing the highest bromine content, Great Lakes DE-83R™ can be used in virtually any polymer system.  Its functional alternative is Firemaster® 2100 for non-decabrom formulations. Great Lakes CD-75P™ is an industry standard (HBCD) for expanded and extruded polystyrene foam and specialty products such as brominated carbonate oligomers and polybromostyrene grades for engineering polymers. Reactive flame retardants include the high volume Great Lakes BA-59P™ (TBBA), which is used mainly in epoxy technology as an intermediate.

Our portfolio includes dibromostyrene, tetrabromophthalic anhydride, hexabromocyclododecane, tetrabromobisphenol A, brominted diphenyl oxide and tribromophenol products.
