2,2',3,4,4',5'-HEXABDE

Description:

2,2',3,4,4',5'-Hexabromodiphenyl ether (HexabDE) is a brominated flame retardant belonging to the class of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). It is characterized by its high thermal stability and effectiveness in reducing flammability in various materials, particularly in plastics and textiles. HexabDE is composed of six bromine atoms attached to a diphenyl ether structure, which contributes to its hydrophobic nature and persistence in the environment. This compound is known for its bioaccumulation potential and has raised environmental and health concerns due to its toxicity and endocrine-disrupting properties. Regulatory measures in several countries have led to restrictions on its use, prompting research into safer alternatives. HexabDE is typically found in industrial applications, but its presence in consumer products has been scrutinized due to potential exposure risks. Overall, while effective as a flame retardant, the environmental and health implications associated with HexabDE necessitate careful consideration and management.
