This chemical is primarily used in the textile and paper industries as a durable press finishing agent. It helps in creating wrinkle-resistant fabrics by cross-linking with cellulose fibers, enhancing their strength and smoothness. In the paper industry, it improves the wet strength of paper products, making them more durable when exposed to moisture. Additionally, it finds application in adhesives and coatings, where it contributes to improved bonding and water resistance. Its ability to form stable bonds with various substrates makes it valuable in enhancing the performance of materials in these applications.
