Used primarily as a flame retardant in various polymer systems, this chemical enhances the fire resistance of materials such as epoxy resins, adhesives, and coatings. It is particularly effective in applications requiring high thermal stability and reduced flammability, making it suitable for use in electronics, aerospace, and construction industries. The brominated structure contributes to its ability to suppress combustion, making it a critical component in safety-critical applications where fire hazards are a concern. Additionally, it is employed in the production of printed circuit boards and other electronic components to meet stringent fire safety standards.
