Used as a reactive intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and specialty polymers due to its multifunctional structure containing both amine and hydroxyl groups. The compound serves as a building block in creating crosslinking agents for coatings and adhesives, enhancing flexibility and adhesion properties. It is also employed in the development of surfactants and functional fluids where moderate hydrophilicity and reactivity are required. Its ether-linked chains provide solubility in polar media, making it suitable for use in agrochemical formulations and as a modifier in epoxy resin systems.
