Used primarily as a monomer in the production of nylon-6,6, this compound plays a critical role in polymer manufacturing. It contributes to the formation of high-strength, thermally stable synthetic fibers used in textiles, automotive parts, and industrial materials. Its balanced molecular structure allows for consistent polymer chain growth, resulting in durable and abrasion-resistant products. Common applications include tire cords, electrical connectors, gears, and carpeting. Due to its thermal stability, it is also used in engineering plastics for under-the-hood automotive components.
