Used as a flame retardant in polymers and textiles due to its ability to promote char formation and reduce flammability. It is effective in enhancing fire resistance in plastics used in electronics, construction materials, and upholstery. The compound acts synergistically with other flame-retardant additives, improving performance without releasing toxic halogenated compounds during combustion. It is also explored in coatings for fire-protective applications where thermal stability and low smoke emission are critical.
