[[含溴阻燃劑]]的重要性與日俱增，當燃燒發生時，阻燃劑會生成[[氫溴酸]]，它會干擾在火焰當中所進行的氧化[[連鎖反應]]。高活性的氫、氧與氫氧根自由基會與溴化氫反應成活性沒那麼強的溴自由基。<ref>{{cite journal | journal = Journal of Fire Sciences | volume = 14 | issue = 6 | pages = 426–442 | year = 1996 | doi =  10.1177/073490419601400602 | title = Mechanisms for Flame Retardancy and Smoke suppression -A Review | url = https://archive.org/details/sim_journal-of-fire-sciences_1996-12_14_6/page/426 | first =Joseph | last = Green }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |first1=Jelle |last1=Kaspersma |first2=Cindy |last2=Doumen |first3=Sheila |last3=Munro |first4=Anne-Marie |last4=Prins |title=Fire retardant mechanism of aliphatic bromine compounds in polystyrene and polypropylene |journal=Polymer Degradation and Stability |issn=0141-3910 |volume=77 |issue=2 |year=2002 |pages=325–331 |doi=10.1016/S0141-3910(02)00067-8 |url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0141391002000678 |access-date=2023-03-14 |archive-date=2023-03-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230314195721/https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0141391002000678 |dead-url=no }}</ref>含溴的化合物可以藉由在[[聚合]]過程中加入一些受到溴化的[[單體]]或在聚合後加入含溴化合物的方法加入[[聚合物]]中。添加[[四溴雙酚A]]可以製造聚酯與環氧樹脂，用於[[印刷電路板]]（PCB）的環氧樹脂通常都是由阻燃劑製成的，並且在產品縮寫中以FR來表示。（如FR-4與FR-2）[[溴乙烯]]可以用來製造[[聚乙烯]]、[[聚氯乙烯]]與[[聚丙烯]]。[[十溴二苯醚]]可以添加在已完成的聚合物中。<ref>{{cite journal | journal = Journal of Fire Sciences | volume = 22 | issue = 1 | pages = 25–40 | year = 2004 | doi = 10.1177/0734904104038107 | title = A Review of Current Flame Retardant Systems for Epoxy Resins | first = Edward D. | last = Weil | author2 = Levchik, Sergei}}</ref>
