1. Polymer Synthesis
- Serves as a core monomer for manufacturing high-performance polyamides (e.g., nylon 8,8) and polyesteramides, imparting excellent mechanical strength, heat resistance, and chemical resistance to the final polymer products, which are widely used in automotive parts and engineering plastics.
2. Pharmaceutical & Agrochemical Intermediates
- Acts as a key building block in the synthesis of anti-inflammatory drugs, antipyretic agents, and selective herbicides, with its linear structure ensuring high bioactivity and low toxicity of the target compounds.
3. Fine Chemicals Production
- Used to produce specialty surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, and lubricant additives, where its dual nitrile functional groups enable strong adhesion and compatibility with various substrates.
4. Advanced Material Manufacturing
- Applied in the preparation of high-temperature resistant resins and composite materials, supporting the production of aerospace components and electronic device insulation materials.
