Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of high-performance pigments, particularly in the production of anthraquinone-based dyes and pigments for plastics, coatings, and inks. Its chlorinated and amino-functional structure contributes to excellent lightfastness and thermal stability, making it suitable for demanding applications in automotive coatings and engineering plastics. Also employed in the development of specialty colorants for textile printing where durability and color strength are critical.
