Used primarily as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of various organic compounds, including pesticides and fungicides in the agrochemical industry. It plays a key role in the production of specialty polymers and resins, particularly in the creation of cross-linking agents that enhance the durability and stability of materials. It is also employed in the manufacture of certain types of adhesives and coatings, where it contributes to improved performance and resistance to environmental factors. Additionally, it finds application in the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other fine chemicals. Its reactivity makes it valuable in organic synthesis, particularly in reactions involving the introduction of chlorine atoms into aromatic systems.
