Used primarily in the production of polyamides and polyesters, especially in the synthesis of high-performance engineering plastics and fibers. It serves as a key monomer in interfacial polymerization processes, such as the manufacture of nylon-6,10. Also employed in the preparation of specialty coatings, adhesives, and elastomers due to its ability to form strong, heat-resistant polymers. Additionally, it finds use in controlled release formulations and as a crosslinking agent in advanced material applications.
