Abstract
AbstractThis article focuses on organic bromine compounds with industrial application. The organic bromine compounds are prepared and produced either by substitutive or additive bromination. Organic bromine compounds, in which the bromine atom is retained in the final molecular structure, and where its presence contributes to the properties of the desired products, are the largest segment in terms of consumed volumes. This segment includes mainly flame retardants (50%), biocides (mostly for water treatment), gasoline additives, halons, bromobutyl rubber, pharmaceuticals, and dyes. New process developments resulted in new applications in ultraviolet (UV) sunscreens, high‐performance polymers, and others.
