Benzene hexabromide（Cat No.:M119343）is a chemical compound with six bromine atoms attached to a benzene ring. It is a brominated aromatic compound often used as a flame retardant due to its high bromine content, which helps to reduce the flammability of materials. Benzene hexabromide has applications in polymer industries, where it is incorporated into plastics, textiles, and coatings to enhance fire resistance. However, its environmental and health impacts, particularly regarding its persistence and potential toxicity, have raised concerns, leading to ongoing research into safer alternatives and its regulation in various industries.
