Used primarily as a high-performance pigment in coatings, plastics, and printing inks due to its excellent thermal stability and lightfastness. It provides a bright blue shade with strong tinting strength, making it suitable for automotive finishes and industrial coatings where durability is critical. Also found in specialty applications such as electronic materials and photovoltaic devices due to its extended conjugation and electron-accepting properties. Its rigid molecular structure enhances stability in aggressive environments, supporting use in advanced polymer systems and optoelectronic components.
