Article Preview

Abstract:

Environmental property of Polybromodiphenyl Ether and how it is restricted by Convention of Stockholm is introduced. Through the analysis of manufacture, application, current technique and substitution situation of Polybromodiphenyl Ether, the main problem of Polybromodiphenyl Ether Fire Retardant is pointed out, and suggestions of improvement is given in this paper.
