Abstract: This invention relates to a method of producing a high-melting powder of 2,2-bis?4'-(2",3"-dibromopropoxy)-3',5'-dibromophenyl!propane characterized by comprising a step of adding water to a solution of 2,2-bis?4'-(2",3"-dibromopropoxy)-3',5'-dibromophenyl!-propane in an organic solvent in the presence of a surfactant to give a water-in-oil emulsion and a step of removing the organic solvent from the emulsion in the presence of a crystal nucleus to induce crystallization to give an aqueous dispersion of 2,2-bis?4'-(2",3"-dibromopropoxy)-3',5'-dibromophenyl!propane. In accordance with this invention, crystallization is carried out in the state of an emulsion under assistance of a surfactant so that an ordinary stirrer can be used in production without resort to any special high-shear stirring equipment. Moreover, since a high-melting grade of 2,2-bis?4'-(2",3"-dibromopropoxy)-3',5'-dibromophenyl!propane is obtained as an aqueous dispersion, workability and safety in the subsequent processing are improved.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing tris(tribromoneopentyl) phosphate (TTBNPP), which is of value as a flame retardant. The process comprises reacting tribromoneopentyl alcohol with a phosphorus oxyhalide in the presence of anhydrous aluminum chloride as catalyst in an organic solvent to give tris(tribromoneopentyl) phosphate characterized in that a basic magnesium salt is added to the reaction mixture at the completion of the reaction. Compared with the conventional production technology, the process of the invention is conducive to high production safety and insures a high yield and a high recovery rate through a simplified procedure.

Abstract: A highly concentrated aqueous tribromophenolate solution containing a non-hydrophillic solvent and a reducing agent is prepared by dissolving an alkali and a reducing agent in water, adding a non-hydropillic solvent and adding tribromophenol.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for producing tris(tribromophenoxy)-s-triazine. This process is characterized by causing an aqueous tribromophenolate solution of not less than 50 weight % concentration containing a reducing agent to react on cyanuric chloride in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst. The process of this invention provides for a high output per unit reactor capacity. The yield and purity of the product are also high.

Abstract: Hexabromocyclododecane may be synthesized at a high yield in pure form by brominating 1,5,9-cyclododecatriene with bromine in a C.sub.4 -C.sub.8 saturated aliphatic alcohol in the presence of a boron trifluoride complex, neutralizing the reaction mixture with a non-aqueous base, and recovering the resulting crystals of hexabromocyclododecane.

Abstract: Compounds useful as flame retarders for organic high molecular compounds are obtained by reacting a polycondensate of a halogenated phenol, e.g. a tribromophenol polycondensate, with a metal compound or organic compound having at least two functional groups capable of reacting with the terminal hydroxyl group of the polycondensate, e.g. an alkaline earth metal halide, an alkyl dihalide or an acyl dihalide.

Abstract: A granular flame retardant additive is provided comprising from 70 to 99.5% by weight of an organohalide flame retardant and from 0.5 to 30% by weight of thermoplastic synthetic resin as a binder. The additive is easy to handle and resistant to disintegration during transportation and mixing with fabricating resin pellets. Uniform distribution thereof in fabricated thermoplastic articles is achieved by simply co-feeding the granules and the fabricating resin to a fabricating machine.
