Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and plant growth regulators. It serves in the production of triazine-based compounds that inhibit photosynthesis in weeds. It is also a crucial component in the production of melamine resins, which are important for manufacturing heat- and chemical-resistant hard plastics used in products such as plastic dishes, furniture, surface laminates, and electronic components. Additionally, employed in the development of dyes and optical brighteners for textiles and paper due to its ability to absorb UV light and emit blue fluorescence. It finds use in the preparation of resins and coatings where thermal stability and cross-linking properties are required, as well as in paints, adhesives, and as a fixing agent in textiles. Furthermore, applied in wastewater treatment processes. Its derivatives are explored in pharmaceutical research for antimicrobial and anticancer activities.
