Used as a reactive diluent in epoxy resin systems to reduce viscosity while maintaining reactivity and mechanical properties. Commonly applied in coatings, adhesives, and electronic encapsulants where low volatility and good chemical resistance are required. Its glycidyl ether structure enables crosslinking with amines, anhydrides, and other curing agents, enhancing flexibility and adhesion in cured networks. Also utilized in the synthesis of specialty polymers and as an intermediate in agrochemical and pharmaceutical formulations.
