Used as a crosslinking agent in polymer chemistry, particularly in the development of epoxy resins and coatings. It enhances thermal stability and mechanical strength of cured networks due to its bifunctional epoxy structure. Employed in specialty adhesives and encapsulants where high reactivity and durability are required. Also serves as an intermediate in synthesizing fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals, leveraging its reactive epoxide groups for ring-opening reactions. Its ability to modify resin properties makes it valuable in advanced composite materials and electronic encapsulation applications.
