Its main uses are as a raw material in the production of nylon, esters and soap, as a solvent and in the textile industry.
Some of its physical characteristics are:
| Molecular weight: 100.16 | Critical temperature: 624.3 K |
| Melting point: 298.0 K | Critical pressure: 3.75 MPa |
| Boiling point: 434.3 K | Critical density: 307 kg/m3 |
