Used primarily as a catalyst in the production of polyurethane foams, enhancing the curing process and improving foam stability. It is also employed in coatings and adhesives to promote faster drying and better film formation. Due to its biocidal properties, it has been used in antifouling paints for marine vessels, though this application has declined due to environmental concerns. Additionally, it serves as a stabilizer in certain polymer systems and as a reagent in organic synthesis for methoxylation reactions, transesterification, and silicone condensation.
