Used as a reactive solvent and coupling agent in polymer and coating formulations. Its dual functionality, with both hydroxyl and tertiary amine groups, allows it to act as a building block in polyurethane systems, enhancing flexibility and adhesion. Commonly employed in the synthesis of surfactants and emulsifiers for agrochemicals and personal care products. Also utilized in corrosion inhibitors due to its ability to chelate metal ions. Serves as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and dyes, where its solubility and reactivity improve process efficiency.
