Used primarily as a high-performance flame retardant in engineering plastics and electronic materials. Its brominated aromatic structure provides excellent thermal stability and flame resistance, making it suitable for applications in circuit boards, connectors, and components requiring high ignition resistance. It is especially effective in polymers exposed to elevated temperatures during processing or operation. Due to its non-migratory nature, it maintains flame protection over long-term use without leaching out of the material. Also considered in specialty resins where UV stability and mechanical strength are critical. Additionally, it serves as a versatile starting material for synthesizing complex organic compounds, particularly in organic electronics research, such as organic transistors and light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). The multiple bromine substituents facilitate nucleophilic substitutions and cross-coupling reactions to build targeted molecular structures, with potential as a building block in high-performance polymers needing heat resistance and specific electrical properties.
