Used as a flame retardant in polymers and resins, particularly in polyolefins and engineering plastics. It decomposes upon heating to release non-flammable gases like nitrogen and ammonia, which dilute flammable gases and slow combustion. Also promotes char formation, enhancing the thermal stability of the material. Commonly applied in wire and cable coatings, electronic enclosures, and construction materials where fire safety is critical. Shows good compatibility with matrices and maintains mechanical properties better than some traditional flame retardants.
