FIELD: chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to bromated and epoxidated organic compounds which are flame retardants for polymers, such as polystyrene. Disclosed is a bromated and epoxidated organic compound having molecular weight of at least 1500, wherein bromine atoms are directly bonded to aliphatic carbon atoms, wherein the bromated and epoxidated organic compound is a bromated and epoxidated homopolymer of butadiene or a bromated and epoxidated ester of polyol and one or more fatty acids, and has bromine content of at least 35 wt %, and at least one oxirane group per molecule, and where the bromated and epoxidated organic compound has a 5% weight loss temperature of at least 180°C. Also disclosed are versions of the method of producing a bromated and epoxidated organic compound and an organic polymer composition.
EFFECT: obtaining flame retardants.
