Used in the production of high-performance nylons, particularly nylon 11 and nylon 611, which offer excellent resistance to heat, chemicals, and abrasion. Commonly found in automotive fuel lines, brake tubing, and electrical cable jackets due to its durability and flexibility. Also employed in coatings, adhesives, and as a building block in specialty polymers for industrial and engineering applications. Its long aliphatic chain contributes to low moisture absorption and enhanced thermal stability in final products.
