Used as a reactive flame retardant in polymers, particularly in polyolefins and engineering plastics. Its bromine content provides effective fire resistance by releasing bromine radicals during combustion, which interrupt the flame propagation process. Due to its neopentyl structure, it offers good thermal stability and resistance to hydrolysis, making it suitable for high-processing-temperature applications. Commonly employed in wire and cable insulation, electronic enclosures, and automotive components where durability and flame safety are critical.
