Tetrabromobisphenol-A TBBPA is the largest volume reactive flame retardant. Its primary use is in epoxy resins where it is reacted with the bis-glycidyl ether of bisphenol-A to produce an epoxy resin having 20 to 25% bromine. This brominated resin is typically sold as a 80% solution in a solvent and is used in printed wiring board manufacture (PWB). TBBPA is also used in the production of brominated epoxy oligomers (BEO’s) and brominated carbonate oligomers (BCO), which are used as additive flame retardants. It is also used to make other flame retardants such as tetrabromobisphenol-A, bis(2,3-dibromopropylether) and Tetrabromobisphenol-A-bis(allyl ether).
