Used in the production of nylon and polyamides, particularly nylon 6,8, which offers good thermal stability and mechanical strength for engineering plastics. Employed in crosslinking agents for coatings and adhesives to enhance durability and chemical resistance. Serves as a building block in synthesizing specialty esters for plasticizers and lubricants. Investigated for use in controlled-release drug delivery systems due to its biocompatibility and biodegradability. Also applied in electroplating baths as a complexing agent to improve metal deposition quality.
