Used as a flame retardant in polymers, particularly in polyurethane foams and engineering plastics, due to its ability to promote char formation and reduce flammability. Also functions as a plasticizer and stabilizer in coatings and adhesives, improving flexibility and thermal stability.

In the paint and ink industry, it serves as a dispersant for pigments, ensuring uniform color intensity and improved drying.

Employed in metalworking fluids as an anti-wear and corrosion inhibitor. Acts as a surfactant and dispersant in metal plating processes, such as zinc and chromium plating, to achieve smoother and more uniform coatings.

Additionally, used as an extractant in the separation of rare earth and heavy metals from ores or industrial waste due to its good metal ion chelating ability.

Its ester mixture composition enhances compatibility with organic matrices, making it suitable for use in lubricants and industrial fluids where hydrolytic stability and performance under pressure are important, as well as providing flexibility and flame retardancy in products requiring high heat and friction resistance.
