Used in the paint and coating industry due to its excellent weather resistance and UV stability, making it suitable for exterior paints. Commonly employed in water-based and solvent-borne systems for effective viscosity control and drying properties.

Additionally, serves as a binder in pharmaceutical and cosmetic products, such as lipsticks, hair sprays, and skin creams, enhancing adhesion to skin or hair while providing a lightweight, non-sticky feel.

Used in drug delivery systems due to its pH-sensitive properties, enabling controlled release in specific environments such as the gastrointestinal tract. Commonly employed in enteric coatings for oral medications to prevent degradation in the stomach and ensure release in the intestine. Also utilized in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine as a scaffold material because of its biocompatibility and tunable degradation rate. Applied in the formulation of nanoparticles for targeted delivery of anticancer drugs. Serves as a protective layer in biomedical devices and implants where surface modification is required. Additionally, used in cosmetic formulations as a film-forming agent providing water resistance and improved adherence.
