Used primarily as a crosslinking agent in polymer chemistry, this compound enhances the mechanical and thermal stability of resins. It is especially effective in free-radical polymerization processes, where it improves hardness and chemical resistance in coatings and adhesives. Commonly found in UV-curable systems, it contributes to rapid curing and durable finish in printing inks and protective coatings. Its bifunctional acrylate structure makes it suitable for modifying acrylic and methacrylic-based polymers to achieve tailored network density in specialty plastics and elastomers.
