High-purity reference materials for accurate residue analysis in food and environmental samples.

Overview

2,4,6-Tribromophenol (TBP) is a brominated derivative of phenol, predominantly used as an intermediate in the preparation of flame retardants. It is also utilized as a fungicide and wood preservative.

Uses

TBP is mainly used in the production of brominated epoxy resins for flame retardants. It is also reacted with sodium hydroxide to form a sodium salt used as a fungicide and wood preservative. The bismuth salt of TBP is an active ingredient in medical dressings such as Xeroform.

Regulatory

The production and use of TBP are regulated due to its potential health and environmental impacts. Compliance with international quality standards is essential for laboratories using TBP reference materials.

Monitoring

Regular monitoring of TBP levels in food and environmental samples is crucial to ensure compliance with regulatory limits and to protect public health and the environment.

Health Impact

Human toxicity

TBP has a median lethal dose (LD50) of 2000 mg/kg in rats when administered orally. It is important to handle TBP with care to avoid potential toxic effects.

Environmental Impact

Effects on wildlife

TBP can have adverse effects on marine fauna and other wildlife. Its presence in the environment needs to be carefully managed to prevent ecological damage.

Safety Measures

Proper safety protocols should be followed when handling TBP, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and adherence to safety guidelines to minimize exposure risks.

Regulation

TBP production and usage are subject to strict regulations to ensure safety and environmental protection. Laboratories must adhere to these regulations when using TBP reference materials.

Analytical Standards

High-purity TBP reference materials provided by HPC Standards GmbH are essential for accurate residue analysis. These materials are tested according to international quality requirements and meet the highest industrial standards, ensuring reliable results for laboratories conducting food and environmental analysis.
