General description

1,2-Bis(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy)ethanes (BTBPEs) are a type of brominated flame retardants (BFRs), which are widely used in domestic and commercial products to prevent fire propagation.

Application

BTBPE may be used as a reference standard for the determination of the analyte in soils, in foods, in air and biota samples and in human hair and nails by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
