Used as a corrosion inhibitor in industrial water systems, helping to protect metal surfaces from degradation due to oxidation and acidic environments. Commonly applied in cooling water systems and boilers where metal components are exposed to continuous moisture and heat. Acts as an intermediate in the synthesis of surfactants and emulsifiers for use in personal care products such as shampoos and lotions, contributing to improved solubility and stability of formulations. Employed in gas treatment processes to remove acidic components like hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide from natural gas and refinery streams, enhancing gas quality and reducing environmental emissions. Also utilized in the production of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals due to its ability to form stable complexes and act as a building block in molecular synthesis.
