Used as a crosslinking agent in polymer chemistry, particularly in the production of hydrogels and specialty resins. It enhances mechanical strength and thermal stability of polymers by forming covalent bonds between polymer chains. Commonly applied in dental composites, contact lenses, and biomedical devices due to its ability to create durable, biocompatible networks. Also utilized in controlled drug delivery systems and chromatography matrices where stable, porous structures are required. Its reactivity allows for UV or thermal curing in coatings and adhesives, making it valuable in industrial formulations.
