Used as a light stabilizer in polymers, particularly in plastics, to prevent degradation caused by UV radiation. It enhances the durability and lifespan of materials exposed to sunlight, such as automotive parts, packaging films, and outdoor furniture. Also acts as an intermediate in the synthesis of hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS), which are widely applied in coatings, adhesives, and agricultural films to maintain color and physical properties. Additionally, it finds use in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals due to its role as a building block in organic synthesis.
