Tris(2,3-dibromopropyl) Phosphate (TRIS)

TRIS is a halogenated phosphoric ester used primarily as a flame retardant additive in polyurethane foams and plastics. It falls under HTS 2919.10.00.00 as it is specifically named tris(2,3-dibromopropyl phosphate), a brominated derivative of phosphoric acid esters. This chemical compound provides fire resistance without significantly altering material properties.

FR-3 Flame Retardant (Tris(2,3-dibromopropyl) Phosphate)

FR-3 is the commercial grade of tris(2,3-dibromopropyl) phosphate used in flexible polyurethane foam production for furniture and automotive applications. Classified under HTS 2919.10.00.00 due to its exact chemical identity as the named halogenated phosphoric ester. It imparts flame retardancy meeting regulatory standards like California's TB 117.

Tris Bromide Flame Retardant Additive

Tris bromide, chemically tris(2,3-dibromopropyl) phosphate, serves as a reactive flame retardant in rigid polyurethane foams and epoxy resins. It precisely matches HTS 2919.10.00.00 as a named halogenated derivative of phosphoric esters. The compound chemically bonds into polymer chains during manufacturing.

TDCPP Tris(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl) Phosphate Equivalent

While TDCPP is dichloro variant, pure tris(2,3-dibromopropyl) phosphate serves similar flame retardant applications in foam production. Classified specifically under HTS 2919.10.00.00 matching the brominated phosphoric ester description. Used where brominated chemistry preferred over chlorinated alternatives.
