Used primarily in the production of polyamide resins for hot melt adhesives, providing flexibility and durability. Common in corrosion inhibitors for metalworking fluids due to its protective film-forming properties. Serves as a key component in synthesizing amine oxides and surfactants for industrial cleaners. Also utilized in lubricants and greases to enhance thermal stability and reduce friction. Found in epoxy curing agents, improving adhesion and chemical resistance in coatings.
