Used primarily as an accelerator in the curing of unsaturated polyester resins, it plays a crucial role in the production of fiberglass-reinforced plastics, coatings, and adhesives. In the dental industry, it is employed to speed up the polymerization process of dental composites and acrylic resins, ensuring quick and durable dental restorations. Additionally, it finds application in the synthesis of dyes and pharmaceuticals, where it acts as an intermediate in the production of various organic compounds. Its ability to enhance reaction rates makes it valuable in industrial processes requiring efficient and rapid polymerization.
