Used as a crosslinking agent in polymer chemistry, particularly in the development of epoxy resins and thermosetting materials. It enhances thermal stability and mechanical strength of the resulting polymers. Commonly applied in coatings, adhesives, and composite materials where improved chemical resistance and durability are required. Also utilized in specialty elastomers and as a reactive diluent to modify viscosity without sacrificing performance. Its bifunctional epoxide structure allows for efficient network formation in curing processes.
