What Does BFR Stand For?
BFR stands for Brominated Flame Retardant
Brominated Flame Retardant (BFR) refers to a class of chemicals that are used to reduce the flammability of materials, particularly in electronics, textiles, and plastics. These compounds incorporate bromine atoms into their molecular structure, which helps inhibit the spread of fire. While effective in enhancing fire safety, BFRs have raised environmental and health concerns due to their persistence in the environment and potential toxicity. Regulatory scrutiny and a shift towards safer alternatives are ongoing as industries aim to balance fire safety with ecological impact.
