Used as a complexing agent in electroplating baths to stabilize metal ions and improve deposit quality. Employed in water treatment to chelate heavy metals, enhancing removal efficiency. Acts as a building block in synthesizing functional polymers and dendrimers due to multiple hydroxyl and amine groups. Utilized in personal care formulations as a pH adjuster and stabilizer. Also serves as a catalyst or additive in polyurethane foam production, improving foam stability and performance.
