Tracking categories (test):

Hexabromobenzene is a bromobenzene compound in which all six positions of the central benzene ring are bonded to a bromine atom.

Hexabromobenzene has seen use in high voltage capacitors as a flame retardant.[5] It also has applications as a starting material in the formation of thin graphene-like films for low cost energy storage devices and capacitors.[6]
