Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes and pigments, especially triazine-based colorants for textiles and inks. It plays a key role in the production of reactive dyes due to its ability to form stable covalent bonds with cellulose fibers. Also employed in the development of agrochemicals, where it serves as a building block for herbicides and plant growth regulators. Its chloro groups allow for easy substitution, making it valuable in organic synthesis for creating specialty chemicals with tailored properties.
