• antioxidants in rubber and plastics
• vulcanization accelerators for rubber
• corrosion inhibitors in steam pipes and boilers
• textile chemicals
• catalysts for flexible polyurethane foams
• corrosion inhibitor in lubricants and cutting fluids

DHCA has the benefit that it does not form nitrosamines when being used.
