Abstract
The thermal degradation mechanism of tetrabrominated epoxy resin was investigated in order to explain its flame retardant mechanism. From the results obtained it was concluded that the flame retardant mechanisms are 1) a lowering of temperature through degradation and 2) the formation of hydrogen bromide and its role in catalysis in the condensation reaction of the resin. These mechanisms were investigated by the pyrolysis behavior of the resin by gas chromatography, thermal gravimetric analysis, and differential thermal analysis studies.Keywords
