Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of UV-curable resins and coatings. Its hydroxyl groups allow for easy modification and crosslinking, making it valuable in producing polyurethanes and alkyd resins. Commonly employed in specialty polymers that require high durability, clarity, and resistance to environmental degradation. Also utilized in the preparation of crosslinking agents for powder coatings and in the formulation of adhesives with enhanced bonding strength. Its multifunctional structure supports applications in electronic encapsulants and 3D printing resins.
