Used primarily as a reactive diluent and modifier in epoxy resin systems, enhancing flexibility and reducing viscosity without compromising thermal or chemical resistance. Its long alkyl chain and epoxide functionality enable improved adhesion to various substrates and better compatibility with other resin components. Commonly applied in coatings, adhesives, and composite materials where toughness and durability are required. Also utilized in specialty polymers to introduce controlled crosslinking and improve impact resistance.
