1,1,2,2-tetrabromoethane
1,1,2,2-Tetrabromoethane is a dense, colorless to yellowish halogenated hydrocarbon with high refractive index. Primarily used as a heavy solvent and density separation fluid in mineralogy, it also serves as an intermediate in organic synthesis and flame retardant production.
TBE is primarily used as a high-density liquid for density-based mineral separation in geological and mining laboratories. It may also serve as a specialty solvent or intermediate in chemical synthesis and flame-retardant formulations. Because TBE requires controlled handling, users should review the SDS and applicable environmental, health, and disposal requirements before use.
