Used as a crosslinking agent in polymer chemistry, particularly in epoxy resin systems to enhance thermal and chemical resistance. It improves mechanical strength and durability in coatings, adhesives, and composite materials. Also employed in the synthesis of specialty chemicals, including pharmaceutical intermediates, and as a building block in the preparation of biodegradable polymers. Its reactive epoxide groups enable modification of biomolecules, surface functionalization in material science applications, and use in electronics materials due to excellent adhesion and stability.
