CAS 87-82-1

Hexabromobenzene

Description:

Hexabromobenzene, with the CAS number 87-82-1, is a polybrominated aromatic compound characterized by the presence of six bromine atoms attached to a benzene ring. This compound appears as a white to pale yellow solid and is known for its high density and low solubility in water, making it more soluble in organic solvents. Hexabromobenzene is primarily used as a flame retardant in various materials, including plastics and textiles, due to its ability to inhibit combustion. It is also studied for its environmental persistence and potential bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms. The compound is classified as a persistent organic pollutant (POP), raising concerns regarding its ecological impact and human health effects, particularly as it may disrupt endocrine functions. Hexabromobenzene is subject to regulatory scrutiny in many regions, and its use is being phased out in favor of safer alternatives. Proper handling and disposal are essential to mitigate its environmental and health risks.
