Used as a cross-linking agent in polymer chemistry, particularly in the modification of resins and coatings to enhance thermal stability and mechanical strength. Acts as a precursor in organic synthesis for the preparation of heterocyclic compounds and functionalized aldehydes. Employed in specialized chemical research for building complex molecular architectures due to its three reactive aldehyde groups, enabling multi-site reactions. Also investigated for use in controlled release systems and functional materials where precise molecular connectivity is required.
