Description

Hexabromocyclohexane is a highly brominated cycloalkane flame retardant additive. This compound is valued for its effectiveness in imparting fire resistance to various polymeric materials by interfering with the combustion process at the gas phase. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the plastics, textiles, and construction materials industries seeking to meet stringent fire safety regulations. Consistent quality and reliable supply are critical for ensuring the performance and compliance of the final treated products.

Application

• As a flame retardant additive for engineering thermoplastics such as polyamides (nylon) and polyesters (PBT, PET).
• As a fire-resistant component in coatings, adhesives, and sealants for industrial and construction applications.
• In the formulation of fire-retardant textiles and fabrics for protective clothing, upholstery, and curtains.
• For enhancing the fire safety of polyurethane foams used in insulation and cushioning.
• As an additive in wire and cable insulation compounds to prevent flame propagation.
• In the production of flame-retardant composites and laminates for the transportation and electronics sectors.

Quality Control

Our Hexabromocyclohexane is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, bromine content, and thermal stability. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are available for every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be kept in opaque packaging or in a dark storage facility.
