Usage

General Description

Dimethyl 1,1'-methylenebis[5-oxo-L-prolinate], also known as DMMP, is a chemical compound that is commonly used as a flame retardant. It is a white, odorless powder that is insoluble in water and has a high melting point. DMMP works by releasing a non-combustible gas when exposed to heat, which helps to suppress the flammability of materials. It is often used in the production of plastics, textiles, and foam products to improve their fire resistance. However, DMMP has also been identified as a chemical of concern due to its potential toxicity and environmental impact, leading to restrictions on its use in certain applications.
