This chemical is widely used as a flame retardant in various industries, particularly in the production of flexible polyurethane foams. These foams are commonly found in furniture, mattresses, and automotive seating, where the compound helps reduce flammability and enhance fire safety. It is also employed in coatings, adhesives, and sealants to improve their resistance to ignition. Additionally, it finds application in electronics, where it is used to protect components from fire hazards. Its effectiveness in delaying combustion makes it a valuable additive in materials requiring enhanced fire protection. However, its environmental and health impacts have led to increased scrutiny and the search for safer alternatives in some applications.
