Technical function of substances

Source:

BEH-TEBP is used as a plasticizer in PVC plastic, neoprene rubber, wire and cable insulation, film and sheeting, carpet backing, coated fabrics, wall coverings and adhesives. BEH-TEBP is also used, together with 2-ethylhexyltetrabromobenzoate (TBB), in the additive flame retardant product Firemaster 550, produced as a replacement for pentabromodiphenyl ether (pentaBDE) in polyurethane foam applications. Its presence in the products BZ-54 and DP-45 have also been reported. Source: de Wit et al 2011; Davis and Stapleton 2009
