Analysis of Brominated Flame Retardants and Phthalate Esters Under the Same Conditions Using a Pyrolysis GC-MS System (3) - HBCDD -

In recent years, an analysis method has been required to determine not only polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), which are regulated under the RoHS Directive, but also phthalate esters and other brominated flame retardants not governed by the directive (such as tetrabromobisphenol-A, hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD), and bis(pentabromophenyl)ethane). In particular, HBCDD has been identified as a substance of very high concern (SVHC) in the REACH regulation. This Application Data Sheet shows the results from analyzing HBCDD in polymers under the same analytical conditions as those in Application Data Sheet 47 using the EGA/PY-3030D Multi-Shot Pyrolyzer and GCMS-QP2020 Ultra.
