Used primarily in the production of nylon-11, which is valued for its durability, flexibility, and resistance to high temperatures and chemicals. Commonly found in automotive fuel lines, electrical insulation, and industrial coatings. Also serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of plasticizers, lubricants, and corrosion inhibitors. In smaller applications, it functions as a fungicide and is used in some pharmaceutical formulations for treating fungal infections. Additionally, employed in the fragrance industry due to its mild, fatty, and waxy odor.
