Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes and pigments, particularly in the production of azo dyes for textiles and inks. It serves in the development of specialty polymers and resins due to its amine and hydroxyl functional groups, enabling cross-linking and improved thermal stability. Also employed in the formulation of corrosion inhibitors and in the manufacture of certain pharmaceuticals where amino-alcohol structures are required. Its reactivity makes it suitable for use in epoxy curing agents and polyurethane systems.
