It forms self-assembled monolayers on gold.[4]

It is also used in polyadditions along with 1,4-butanediol to form sulfur-containing polyester and polyurethanes containing diisocyanate.[5][6][7] Several of these polymers are considered biodegradable and many of their components are sourced from non-petroleum oils.[8]
