Tetrabromophthalic Anhydride is a brominated flame retardant used as additives in plastics to decrease the rate of combustion of these materials, leading to greater consumer safety.
ChEBI: Tetrabromophthalic anhydride is a cyclic dicarboxylic anhydride and a member of 2-benzofurans.
Pale yellow crystalline solid.
Insoluble in water. Sensitive to moisture .
Tetrabromophthalic anhydride reacts exothermically with water. This reaction is expected to be slow, but can become vigorous if local heating accelerates it. Reaction with water is accelerated by acids. Incompatible with acids, strong oxidizing agents, alcohols, amines, and bases.
Low toxicity by ingestion, inhalation, and
skin contact. A mild eye irritant.
