Brominated SBS (CAS 1195978-93-8) is a block copolymer based on polystyrene and brominated polybutadiene. As a new generation of environmentally friendly flame retardant, it is specifically designed to replace traditional high-risk materials such as hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD). With its extremely low toxicity (not classified as a PBT/POP substance and not listed as an SVHC candidate by the EU REACH regulation) and the groundbreaking achievement of being certified by the Nordic Swan Ecolabel, this product has become the world’s first brominated flame retardant approved for use in polystyrene insulation materials. It meets stringent building fire safety standards (e.g., EN 13501-1) while reducing environmental and health risks by over 60%.
The global market is dominated by a technology licensing model, with over 75% of capacity held by licensees of DuPont’s BLUEDGE™ technology (including LANXESS Germany, Israel Chemicals, and China’s Xurui New Materials). The market reached $151 million in 2024, with a CAGR of 5.3%. Regional demand varies significantly: Europe leads with 45% share due to REACH-driven replacement demand, while China shows the fastest growth (8.2% annually) due to green building policies. Technological advances focus on multifunctional integration, such as synergistic flame retardancy with phosphorus-based additives or graft modifications for improved thermal stability (up to 220 °C).
Downstream processes include separation and purification equipment like centrifuges, distillation columns, and dryers. The molecular structure enables high flame retardancy from bromine incorporation and excellent dispersion and interfacial bonding due to its block copolymer nature. In construction, it ensures B1-grade fire resistance for insulation materials, with notable applications such as the XPS underlay at Tokyo Haneda Airport and Guangzhou’s FUDAXPSeco roofing system. In rubber, it acts as a toughening agent, enhancing tear resistance and tensile strength by 15–20%. Currently, about 80% of demand comes from building insulation, with growing use in rubber, sealing systems, and packaging, and expanding into electronics and medical devices. With ongoing global restrictions on persistent pollutants by agencies like the US EPA and EU CPD, brominated SBS is poised to reach over 60% market penetration by 2030, becoming a mainstream flame retardant for polymers.
