Application

Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) serves as an additive flame retardant, primarily utilized in building insulation materials made of expanded or extruded polystyrene foam. Its purpose is to delay ignition and slow fire progression, enhancing the fire resistance of structures and articles throughout their service life and storage. While its primary application is in polystyrene foam insulation, HBCD is also used in smaller quantities for flame-retardant back-coatings of upholstery textiles, including automotive interiors, and in certain electric and electronic appliances. This compound is particularly valued for its ability to bind effectively to particulate matter, despite its low water solubility, enhancing the safety of various materials and products.
