Bromine flame retardant DECA safety
DECA has been used in textile industry for several decades as a flame retardant, often used in furniture upholstery. Bromine flame retardants such as DECA can inhibit the chemical reaction between oxygen and combustible, slow the combustion rate and prevent the spread of fire. As a result, flame retardants are of great significance in safeguarding people's life and property safety.
However, because some flame retardants are detected to be harmful to human health, people are gradually abandoning the use of bromine flame retardants. Two kinds of harmful bromine flame retardants, penta and octa, are polymerized polybrominated biphenyls (PBDEs). But there are also some PBDEs flame retardants that are not toxic. But since they fall into this category. Often considered harmful.
In view of the current debate about the safety of bromine flame retardant DECA, this paper introduces the attitude of scientific research organizations and government agencies around the world.
There is a project called risk assessment (RA) in Europe. In this project, the effects of chemical drugs on the environment and human health should be comprehensively evaluated.
Chemicals should be evaluated separately, not by category. It covers a wide range of chemicals, including flame retardants and special chemicals. There are currently nine kinds of flame retardants that have been completed or are undergoing risk assessment.
After the completion of the technical work, the relevant government departments to make decisions, to determine how to reduce the harm of the toxic drugs There are mainly three kinds of situations: 1) the need for more information and/or further detection: 2) make sure no harm, no need to further reduce risk 3) determine how bad, need to further reduce the risk.
The result is that penta belongs to the third category, so the product that used to be used for polyurethane foam flame retardants has been banned and its production has stopped. Octa is usually used in the automotive field, and detection is also dangerous. Although it is not as obvious as penta, it is classified as a third class.
Tris (1,3-Dichloro-2-Propyl) Phosphate (Flame Retardant TDCPP)
CAS No.:13674-87-8
HS: 29199000
Tax Rate (%): 9%
Tris (1,3-Dichloro-2-Propyl) Phosphate (TDCPP) Raw Materials: Phosphorus Oxychloride, Epichlorohydrin
Tris (1,3-Dichloro-2-Propyl) Phosphate (Flame Retardant TDCPP) Use:
The Product Has A High Efficiency Flame Retardant, Low Volatility, High Thermal Stability, Water Resistance, Alkali Stable And Soluble In Most Organic Substances, Processing Performance, With Plastic, Moisture, Anti-Static, Anti-Pull, Anti-Compression Performance. Widely Used In Unsaturated Polyester, Polyurethane Foam, Epoxy Resin, Phenolic Resin, Rubber, Soft Polyvinyl Chloride, Synthetic Fibers And Other Plastics And Coatings At High Temperature Pyrolysis, Can Be Used As Emulsifier And Explosion-Proof Agent.
The DECA safety assessment of bromine flame retardants has been evaluated for over 10 years, and more than 588 studies (detailed assessment of toxicity under different conditions) have been studied. The results showed that DECA was environmentally friendly and benign in air, water and land. In addition, the trioxide antimony used with DECA is also determined and the results will be released soon.
Although the results of DECA safety measurements of bromine flame retardants are not harmful, government departments need more data on DECA's relationship with human health. Therefore, it is required to conduct more in-depth toxicity studies to investigate its effects on human neural behavior and to monitor the process. The chemical industry has agreed to cooperate with government authorities to complete these projects.
In addition, DECA has an environmental impact. Monitor its emissions and send the test report to the eu's chemical policy management division every two years. The industry will work with the government as soon as possible to develop these projects.
In addition to the RA, there are the eu's waste electrical equipment directive (WEEE) and the European Union's ban on hazardous substances (RoHS). Both directives have been recognized and published on eu standards. The WEEE directive initially called for the elimination of DECA and is awaiting the results of the RA study.
On March 21, 2005, the European commission proposed to remove DECA from RoHS directive in accordance with the results of a detailed examination by RA and experts. On 13 January 2005, the committee voted to approve the proposal.
Penta and octa in the United States, California, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, New York, Oregon, etc have been disabled, and DECA in all the states were not disable or restrict the use of. There was a proposal for that, but it didn't pass.
