This chemical is primarily used as a monomer in the production of specialty polymers, particularly those requiring hydrophilic and antistatic properties. It is widely applied in the manufacture of coatings, adhesives, and hydrogels, where its sulfopropyl and quaternary ammonium groups enhance water solubility and ionic conductivity. In the personal care industry, it is utilized in formulations for hair care products, such as conditioners and styling gels, to improve moisture retention and reduce static. Additionally, it finds use in biomedical applications, including the development of contact lenses and wound dressings, due to its biocompatibility and ability to form stable, water-absorbent materials. Its antistatic properties also make it valuable in the production of electronic components and packaging materials.
