Used in the production of nylon-6,10, a type of polyamide known for its high melting point, good mechanical properties, and resistance to moisture, making it suitable for use in automotive parts, electrical insulators, and industrial fibers. Commonly employed in the synthesis of plasticizers that improve the flexibility and durability of polymers, especially in PVC and other plastics used in coatings, adhesives, and synthetic rubbers. Serves as a building block in the manufacture of lubricants and hydraulic fluids due to its long aliphatic chain, which provides thermal stability and low-temperature performance. Utilized in cosmetics and personal care products as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, and anti-aging formulations due to its biocompatibility and moisturizing properties. Applied in the pharmaceutical industry as an excipient or intermediate in controlled-release drug formulations and biodegradable matrices.
