General description

β-Hexabromocyclododecane is the minor diastereomer in the production of the brominated flame retardant (BFR), hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD). It contributes to 16% of the total mixture. HBCD is widely used in a variety of commercial and consumer products.

Application

β-Hexabromocyclododecane may be used as an analytical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in textiles, air, and soil, and various other samples by chromatography techniques.
