Used as a high-performance flame retardant in electronic materials and polymers due to its high bromine content and thermally stable aromatic structure. It is effective in suppressing combustion in plastics and resins without significantly degrading material properties at high processing temperatures. Commonly incorporated into circuit boards, connectors, and insulating materials where thermal stability and fire resistance are critical. Its planar, rigid structure also allows for good compatibility with aromatic polymer matrices, enhancing dispersion and performance.
