Used in the production of high-performance nylons, particularly nylon 6,16, which offers excellent thermal stability, mechanical strength, and resistance to chemicals. Commonly applied in automotive and electronic components requiring durable, heat-resistant materials. Also utilized in corrosion inhibitors and as a building block in specialty polyesters and polyamides for coatings and adhesives. Its long aliphatic chain contributes to flexibility and hydrophobicity in polymer formulations.
