Application

DPO can be used as a high boiling reaction solvent in the manufacture of drugs like Chloroquine Phosphate (anti-malarial drug), Norfloxacin, Pefloxacin, Ciprofloxacin (broad spectrum antibiotics) etc.
DPO on bromination gives Deca Bromo Diphenyl oxide which is widely used in the plastics industry as a fire retardant.
DPO along with Diphenyl forms a heat transfer fluid, which is used at temperatures as high as 400^o C.
DPO is used in the manufacture of alkylated Diphenyl oxide Di Sulphonate, a speciality surfactant which finds application in textiles, mining, petroleum, agriculture etc.
DPO is used in the manufacture of blowing agents for rubber.
