Except where otherwise noted, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C [77 °F], 100 kPa).

Hexabromobenzene is an aromatic compound. It is a derivative of benzene in which all hydrogen atoms are replaced by bromine atoms.

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]
