This chemical is primarily used in the production of polymers and resins, where it acts as a monomer. Its incorporation into polymer chains enhances the material's flexibility, durability, and resistance to environmental factors such as UV light and moisture. It is commonly applied in coatings, adhesives, and sealants, providing improved performance in industrial and consumer products. Additionally, it is utilized in the synthesis of specialty plastics and elastomers, contributing to the development of materials with tailored mechanical and thermal properties. The stabilization with MEHQ ensures its safe handling and storage during manufacturing processes.
