Used as a brominated flame retardant in polymer materials, particularly in engineering plastics and resins. It provides high thermal stability and effective fire resistance, making it suitable for electronics, electrical enclosures, and automotive components where heat resistance and safety are critical. Its ester structure enhances compatibility with various matrices, improving dispersion and mechanical properties without significantly altering the base polymer characteristics. Also investigated as an intermediate in the synthesis of functionalized aromatic compounds for specialty applications in coatings and adhesives.
