Usage

Description

2,3,5,6,8,8,9,10,10-nonachlorobornane is a highly chlorinated form of bornane, a bicyclic organic compound. It is a synthetic chemical compound that has been used in the production of pesticides and flame retardants. As a known persistent organic pollutant (POP), nonachlorobornane has been found to bioaccumulate in the environment, posing potential risks to human health and ecosystems.

Uses

Used in Pesticide Production:
2,3,5,6,8,8,9,10,10-nonachlorobornane is used as an ingredient in the production of pesticides for its insecticidal properties, contributing to the control of pests in agricultural settings.
Used in Flame Retardants:
In the flame retardant industry, 2,3,5,6,8,8,9,10,10-nonachlorobornane is used as an additive to reduce the flammability of various materials, enhancing their fire safety characteristics.
However, due to its high toxicity and persistence, the use of 2,3,5,6,8,8,9,10,10-nonachlorobornane has been restricted and phased out in several countries. 2,3,5,6,8,8,9,10,10-nonachlorobornane is considered hazardous, and its production and use have been regulated under international agreements such as the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants. Ongoing research and regulatory actions are focused on eliminating and managing the environmental and health risks associated with this compound.
