1,2-Bis(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy)ethane is a major "novel" brominated flame retardant (NBFRs) from various polymer materials. 1,2-Bis(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy)ethane functions as a flame retardant by creating a protective bromine layer on the surface of the treated material. This bromine layer acts as a barrier, impeding the progression of flames. Additionally, the compound serves as a plasticizer, enhancing the flexibility of polymers by decreasing their viscosity.
