Excerpt
Introduction: The fire retardant FireMaster BP-6 is a multicomponent commercial mixture of polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) produced by Michigan Chemical Corp. It contains 75% bromine by weight which is equivalent to hexabromobiphenyl. Electron- capture gas-chromatographic examination of this material indicates that it contains two major and at least six minor components (I). The two major components were identified by gas liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry as hexabromobiphenyl and an unresolved mixture of heptabromobiphenyl and octabromobiphenyl (I). The polybrominated biphenyls are insoluble in water but are soluble in fat solvents.
