This chemical is primarily used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of light stabilizers, particularly hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS). These stabilizers are widely applied in polymers and coatings to protect them from degradation caused by UV radiation. By incorporating this compound into materials, it enhances their durability and extends their lifespan when exposed to sunlight or other UV sources. It is especially valuable in automotive coatings, plastic films, and outdoor construction materials, where UV resistance is critical. Additionally, it contributes to maintaining the aesthetic and mechanical properties of these materials over time.
