GENERAL DESCRIPTION & EXTERNAL LINKS
Hexabromocyclododecane is used as a flame retardant for expandable polystyrene, polyurethane, plastics, paper and textiles. Fire extinguishing media. It can be combined with synergist such as antimony trioxide for maximum flame retardant performance. Wikipedia Linking: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexabromocyclododecane .....Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) and hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) are two brominated chemicals that are used as flame retardant materials in a variety of products. These flame retardants have desirable properties, and have proven to be successful flame retardant materials during years of use for a variety of applications. For example, HBCD combines high effectiveness with very low loading levels which enable polystyrene insulation products used in the building industry to meet required flame retardancy standards, while maintaining their insulation properties......

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF FLAME RETARDANT AGENT
Flame Retardants are substances that can be chemically inserted into the polymer molecule or be physically blended in polymers after polymerization to suppress, reduce, delay or modify the propagation of a flame through a plastic materials. There are several classes of flame retardants; Halogenated Hydrocarbons (Chlorine and Bromine containing compounds and reactive flame retardants), Inorganic flame retardants ( Boron compounds, Antimony oxides, Aluminium Hydroxide, molybdenum compounds, zinc and magnesium oxides ), Phosphorous containing compounds (Organic phosphate esters, phosphates, halogenated phosphorus compounds and inorganic phosphorus containing salts). Class of Flame Retardants Inorganic Metal hydroxides Aluminium hydroxide Magnesium hydroxide Orthers Antimony compounds Antimony trioxide antimony pentoxide Sodium antimonate Others Boron compounds Boric acid Borax Zinc borate Others Other metal compounds Molybdenum compounds Titanium compounds Zirconium compounds Zinc compounds Zinc stannate Zinc hydroxy-stannate Others Others Phosphorus compounds Red phosphorus Ammonium polyphosphate Others Other inorganic flame retardants ammonium sulfamate ammonium bromide Others Halogenated organic Brominated Tetrabromobisphenol A Decabromodiphenyl ether Octabromobiphenyl ether Tetrabromobiphenyl ether Hexabromocyclododecane Tribromophenol Bis(tribromophenoxy) ethane Tetrabromobisphenol A polycarbonate oligomers Tetrabromobisphenol A epoxy oligomers Others Chlorinated Chlorinated paraffins Bis(hexachlorocyclopentadieno)cyclo-octane Others Organophosphoros Non-halogenated compounds phosphate esters Ttrialkyl phosphates Triaryl phosphates Aryl-alkyl phosphates Others polyols phosphonium derivatives phosphonates Others Halogenated phosphates Tris(1-chloro- 2-propyl) phosphate Tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate Tris(2,3-dibromopropyl)phosphate Others Nitrogen-based Polyurethanes Polyamides Melamine and its salts Guanidine compounds Others
