Used as a high-performance flame retardant in polymers and resins due to its high bromine content and thermal stability. It is effective in reducing flammability in engineering plastics, electronic enclosures, and insulation materials without compromising mechanical strength. Its aromatic structure enhances compatibility with polymer matrices, making it suitable for applications requiring long-term durability under heat stress. Also investigated as a building block in the synthesis of porous organic frameworks for gas storage and separation.
