TBHBA

Description

TBHBA 2,4,6-Tribromo-3-hydroxybenzoic acid is a chemical colorimetric agent and nanomaterial surface modifier. TBHBA can react with some oxidants such as H2O2 to generate high-absorbance quinoneimine dyes, which enhance the sensitivity of HDL cholesterol enzymatic determination. TBHBA can be used as a bromine-containing coupling agent to modify the surface of silica nanoparticles through esterification reaction. Thereby, organic flame retardant groups are introduced to improve the thermal stability and flame retardant properties of nanocomposites. TBHBA can be used in clinical biochemical testing such as serum lipoprotein analysis and the preparation of flame-retardant polymer nanocomposites.
