Description

Hexabromobenzene CAS NO 87-82-1 is a highly brominated aromatic compound, valued for its exceptional flame-retardant properties and thermal stability. This makes it a critical performance additive in polymer formulations where fire safety is paramount. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the electronics, construction, and automotive industries seeking to enhance the fire resistance of plastics, textiles, and coatings.

Application

• As a flame retardant additive in high-performance engineering plastics such as polycarbonates, polyamides, and epoxy resins.
• In the formulation of fire-resistant coatings and paints for structural steel, cables, and electronic enclosures.
• As a reactive intermediate or additive in the synthesis of specialty brominated flame retardants with tailored properties.
• For enhancing the fire safety of textile back-coatings and composites used in automotive and aerospace interiors.
• In research and development for creating novel flame-retardant polymer systems and studying combustion inhibition mechanisms.
