VI 16832 is primarily used as a flame retardant in various polymer applications. It is commonly incorporated into materials such as polyamides, polyesters, and polyurethanes to enhance their fire resistance. This chemical is particularly effective in reducing the flammability of textiles, coatings, and engineering plastics, making it suitable for use in automotive interiors, electrical components, and construction materials. Its ability to provide thermal stability and prevent the spread of flames ensures improved safety in products exposed to high temperatures or potential fire hazards. Additionally, it is often used in combination with other additives to achieve optimal flame retardancy while maintaining the material's mechanical properties.
