Used primarily as a reactive monomer in the formulation of high-performance coatings and adhesives. Its rigid adamantane structure enhances thermal stability and resistance to degradation, making it suitable for durable protective coatings. It is also employed in specialty polymers where high glass transition temperatures (Tg) and mechanical strength are required. Due to its acrylate functionality, it readily undergoes free-radical polymerization, enabling its use in UV-curable systems for inks, electronics encapsulation, and optical materials. Its hydrophobic nature contributes to improved moisture resistance in final polymer products.
