Used as a high-performance pigment in coatings, plastics, and printing inks due to its exceptional thermal stability and lightfastness. Provides a bright, intense blue color that resists fading under UV exposure and high processing temperatures. Commonly found in automotive paints, industrial coatings, and engineering plastics where durability and color retention are critical. Also employed in specialty applications such as laser dyes, photovoltaic devices, and electrochromic materials owing to its semiconducting properties and strong absorption in the visible spectrum.
