Widely used as a flame retardant in textiles, particularly for cotton and cotton blends, to enhance fire resistance. Applied in the finishing process of fabrics, it forms a durable bond, providing long-lasting protection against ignition and flame spread. Also employed in the production of flame-resistant materials for protective clothing, upholstery, and industrial applications. Additionally, it serves as a biocide in water treatment systems, effectively controlling microbial growth in cooling towers and paper mill processes. Its dual functionality makes it valuable in industries requiring both flame retardancy and antimicrobial properties.
