Used primarily as a crosslinking agent in polymer synthesis, this compound enhances thermal and mechanical stability of resins. It is applied in the production of specialty polymers and elastomers, where its bridging structure supports network formation in vulcanization processes. Commonly found in advanced coating materials and adhesives, it improves resistance to solvents and heat degradation. Also utilized in controlled release systems for agrochemicals due to its stable aromatic framework and hydrophobic character.
