Hexabromocyclododecane, HBCD

Advantages and Applications
Hexabromocyclododecane, abbreviated as HBCD, is a cycloaliphatic brominated flame retardant. It shows extraordinary performance at low loading levels, and minimizes the effect on the properties of polymer.

HBCD is ideal to serve as an additive flame retardant, when applied in thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers. It is a first choice for XPS (extruded polystyrene foam), EPS (expanded polystyrene foam), and other styrene-based resins. Moreover, hexabromocyclododecane, as one of a group of polybrominated flame retardant, is available for adhesives, latex binders, textile treatments, as well as unsaturated polyesters and coatings.
