Used primarily as a corrosion inhibitor in industrial cooling water systems to protect metal surfaces from degradation. It is also employed in the formulation of metalworking fluids to enhance their performance by preventing rust and corrosion on machinery parts. Additionally, it serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of various organic compounds, including dyes and pharmaceuticals. In the rubber industry, it acts as a vulcanization accelerator, improving the durability and elasticity of rubber products. Its application extends to the oil and gas sector, where it is used in drilling fluids to prevent corrosion of equipment exposed to harsh environments. In the paper and pulp industry, it helps prevent the degradation of pulp from microorganisms. Furthermore, it is used in the production of agrochemicals as an ingredient in fungicides and bactericides.
