dechlorane plus (dp) is an additive flame retardant widely used in polymer materials such as plastics and fibers due to its excellent colorability, thermal stability, outstanding electrical properties, and low smoke emission. however, as significant risks of exposure to humans and the environment associated with dp have been confirmed, various regions globally have initiated actions to control this substance. many export-oriented electronic product companies have already started supply chain investigations regarding this substance.
