Application

Tribromofluoromethane is primarily used as a dense solvent in mineral separation and density gradient applications. In organic synthesis, it serves as a brominating agent or intermediate for introducing bromine into target molecules. Additionally, its flame-retardant properties make it suitable for research in fire suppression and polymer modification. Due to environmental concerns, its use is restricted in some applications, but it remains valuable for controlled laboratory studies.
