Used primarily as a reactive diluent and crosslinking agent in UV-curable coatings, inks, and adhesives. Its acrylate functionality enables rapid polymerization under UV light, improving cure speed and film formation. The chloroalkyl group provides polarity and can enhance adhesion to various substrates, including metals and plastics. It is also employed in the synthesis of functional polymers and copolymers where controlled hydrophobicity and reactivity are required. Due to its bifunctional nature, it can bridge polymer chains, increasing mechanical strength and chemical resistance of the final material. Commonly found in specialty coatings requiring durability and adhesion in demanding environments.
