1,2,3,4,5,6-Hexabromocyclohexane / 1g

1,2,3,4,5,6-Hexabromocyclohexane is a halogenated organic compound consisting of a cyclohexane ring with six bromine atoms attached. It is a white crystalline solid, commonly used as a flame retardant in various materials, including plastics, textiles, and electronic equipment, due to its ability to inhibit the spread of flames.

Application:

1,2,3,4,5,6-Hexabromocyclohexane is primarily employed as a flame retardant additive in the manufacturing of plastics, textiles, and electronic devices. It works by releasing bromine radicals when exposed to heat, which interfere with the combustion process and reduce the flammability of the materials, thus enhancing fire safety.
