BSEF stands for brominated flame retardants. Flame retardants are a group of chemicals that are added to products to reduce the risk of fire. Some common synonyms for BSEF include flame retardants, fire retardants, and fire inhibitors. These chemicals are commonly used in household products such as furniture, electronics, and building materials. However, due to their widespread use, BSEF has also become a cause for concern as they can accumulate in the environment and potentially harm human health. As a result, some companies and regulatory agencies are looking for replacements for BSEF that are less harmful, such as non-toxic flame retardants or natural alternatives like wool or stearates.
