Used primarily as a reactive flame retardant in polymer systems, especially in thermoplastics and thermosetting resins. It is effective in polyurethanes, polyesters, and epoxy resins due to its ability to integrate into the polymer chain during synthesis, enhancing flame resistance without leaching. Its bromine content contributes to gas-phase radical quenching during combustion, reducing flammability. Commonly applied in electronic enclosures, construction materials, and flame-retardant coatings where thermal stability and durability are required. Suitable for use in systems needing compliance with fire safety standards without significantly compromising mechanical properties.
