Used as a reactive diluent in epoxy resin systems to reduce viscosity without sacrificing performance. Enhances workability and flow in coatings, adhesives, and encapsulants. Improves flexibility and impact resistance of cured epoxy formulations. Commonly applied in electronic potting compounds, composite materials, and industrial coatings where low volatility and high reactivity are required. Also utilized in the synthesis of specialty polymers and surfactants due to its ability to introduce glycidyl functionality with steric hindrance.
