Used primarily as a reactive diluent in epoxy resin systems, this compound helps reduce viscosity without sacrificing thermal or mechanical properties. It is especially effective in electrical insulation applications, such as in transformers, generators, and switchgear, due to its high purity and excellent dielectric strength. Its cycloaliphatic structure contributes to improved UV stability, making it suitable for outdoor coatings and encapsulants where weather resistance is critical. It also enhances adhesion and flexibility in composite materials and is often selected in formulations requiring low volatility and low toxicity. Commonly used in powder coatings, casting resins, and electronic potting compounds where long-term durability and performance under thermal cycling are required.
