Used as a lubricant in high-temperature and high-pressure environments due to its layered structure and stability. Commonly applied in aerospace and automotive industries for reducing friction in metal-to-metal contacts. Also utilized in solid lubricant coatings and greases. Acts as a semiconductor material in electronic devices and sensors. Employed in the production of tin-based chemicals and as a catalyst in certain chemical reactions. Found in some solar control films for windows to reflect infrared radiation.
