Used primarily in industrial applications, this chemical serves as a component in dielectric fluids for electrical equipment like transformers and capacitors. Its stability under high temperatures makes it suitable for heat transfer systems. Additionally, it has been utilized in research settings to study the environmental impact and degradation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Due to its persistence in the environment, it is also monitored in ecological studies to assess pollution levels and their effects on wildlife and ecosystems.
