Used primarily as a crosslinking agent in polymer chemistry, enhancing the thermal and mechanical stability of rubber and elastomer materials. It reacts with sulfur-containing polymers to form durable networks, improving resistance to heat, abrasion, and chemical degradation. Employed in specialty coatings and adhesives where high performance under extreme conditions is required. Also investigated for use in controlled-release systems and functionalized nanomaterials due to its selective reactivity with thiols and amines.
