Used in the production of high-performance polymers such as epoxy resins and polycarbonates due to its ability to enhance thermal stability and mechanical strength. Commonly serves as a crosslinking agent or curing agent in epoxy systems, improving resistance to heat and chemicals in coatings, adhesives, and composite materials. Also investigated for use in the synthesis of antioxidants and UV stabilizers in plastics. Its structural rigidity contributes to the development of materials with low dielectric constants, making it suitable for electronic applications. Additionally, it has potential in the preparation of functional membranes and in pharmaceutical intermediates where aromatic diols are required.
