Used primarily as a binder and film-forming agent in coatings, adhesives, and sealants due to its excellent flexibility and adhesion properties. Commonly found in pressure-sensitive adhesives for tapes and labels, where it provides good tack and peel strength. Also utilized in textile finishes to improve softness and durability. In paints and coatings, it enhances water resistance and low-temperature flexibility. Frequently employed in emulsion polymer form for eco-friendly, water-based formulations.
