Used as a reactive diluent and crosslinking agent in epoxy resin systems, enhancing mechanical strength and thermal stability of coatings and adhesives. Employed in the synthesis of functional polymers and ion-exchange resins due to its ability to coordinate with metal ions. Acts as a monomer in the production of cationic polymers for use in water treatment and as a corrosion inhibitor in industrial formulations. Also utilized in the development of specialty resins for dental and composite materials owing to its good adhesion and reactivity.
