Used primarily as a flame retardant in various materials, including plastics, textiles, and electronics, to enhance fire safety. Its brominated structure effectively inhibits combustion by releasing bromine radicals that interrupt the fire cycle. Additionally, it finds application in the synthesis of specialized polymers and coatings, where flame resistance is critical. In the construction industry, it is incorporated into insulation materials to improve their fire resistance properties. Its stability and efficiency make it a valuable component in safety-focused industrial applications.
