Description
Hexabromobiphenyl (C12H4Br6, CAS No. 36355-01-8), one of 101 PBBs compounds in the CAS Registry system, is the main component of the commercial PBB mixtures tested in animal carcinogenicity studies as FireMaster FF-1 (FireMaster was registered as a trademark by the Michigan Chemical Corporation, St. Louis, MI). FireMaster FF-1 was produced by grinding FireMaster BP-6, the other main commercial hexabromobiphenyl PBB mixture (of which the major components were 4.0% pentabromobiphenyls, 62.6% hexabromobiphenyls, and 33.4% heptabromobiphenyls) and blending it with 2% calcium polysilicate as an anticaking agent (NTP 1993).

Uses
Hexabromobiphenyl was the primary component of the two major products previously used as fire retardants in business-machine housings and in industrial and electrical products. PBBs were also used in smaller amounts as a fire retardant in lacquers and coatings, and in automobile upholstery (ATSDR 2004).
