Used as a reactive diluent and chain extender in polyurethane systems, enhancing flexibility and adhesion in coatings, adhesives, and elastomers. Acts as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and surfactants due to its amine functionality and solubility properties. Employed in gas treating formulations for acid gas removal, where it contributes to efficient CO₂ and H₂S absorption. Also utilized in electroplating baths to improve deposit smoothness and in corrosion inhibitors for metal protection. Its polar nature makes it suitable as a solvent or additive in specialty chemical formulations requiring moderate reactivity and good solvency.
