Pentabromotoluene

Description:
Pentabromotoluene, with the CAS number 87-83-2, is a brominated aromatic compound characterized by the presence of five bromine atoms attached to a toluene backbone. This compound typically appears as a white to light yellow solid and is known for its high density and low volatility. Pentabromotoluene is primarily used as a flame retardant in various materials, including plastics and textiles, due to its ability to inhibit combustion. Its chemical structure contributes to its stability and resistance to degradation, making it effective in applications requiring fire resistance. However, like many brominated compounds, it raises environmental and health concerns, particularly regarding its persistence in the environment and potential bioaccumulation. Regulatory scrutiny has increased around such substances, leading to ongoing research into their safety and alternatives. Overall, pentabromotoluene exemplifies the balance between utility in fire safety and the need for careful consideration of its environmental impact.
