Used primarily as a high-performance monomer in the synthesis of polycarbonates and epoxy resins, this compound contributes to improved thermal stability and mechanical strength in the resulting polymers. Its bulky cyclohexane core and phenolic hydroxyl groups enhance resistance to heat and oxidation, making it suitable for engineering plastics in automotive and electronic components. It is also explored in specialty coatings and adhesives where durability under harsh conditions is required. Due to its methyl-substituted phenol structure, it offers better hydrolytic stability compared to bisphenol A-based materials, supporting applications in demanding industrial environments.
