Used as a flame retardant additive in polymers and coatings due to its ability to release water vapor when heated, which helps suppress fire. Commonly employed in wire and cable insulation, construction materials, and electronics. Also serves as a precursor for producing aluminum oxide ceramics and catalysts, including high-melting point ceramics for heat-resistant applications such as turbine shrouds and industrial furnace components. Applied in the manufacturing of refractory materials and high-temperature resistant components. Utilized in chromatography as a stationary phase support. Functions as a binder and dispersant in catalyst formulations and ceramic processing, leveraging its high surface area and chemical stability. Additionally used in coatings to enhance hardness and scratch resistance, and in filtration and membrane technologies for creating uniform small-pore structures.
