This chemical is primarily used as a flame retardant in various materials due to its high bromine content, which effectively suppresses combustion. It is incorporated into polymers, plastics, and textiles to enhance their fire resistance, making them safer for use in electronics, construction, and automotive industries. Additionally, its unique triptycene structure provides thermal stability, making it suitable for high-temperature applications. Research is also exploring its potential in organic electronics and as a building block for advanced materials with specific optical or electronic properties.
