Used as a reactive flame retardant in polymer systems, particularly in resins and coatings. It participates in free radical polymerization, allowing it to be chemically bonded into the polymer matrix, which enhances flame resistance without leaching. Commonly applied in electronics, construction materials, and textiles where thermal stability and fire safety are critical. Its brominated structure contributes to effective smoke suppression during combustion. Also utilized in UV-curable formulations due to its acrylate functionality, offering durability and flame retardancy in surface coatings.
