Used primarily as a crosslinking agent in polymer chemistry, enhancing the mechanical and thermal stability of resins and coatings. It is widely applied in UV-curable systems such as inks, adhesives, and protective coatings due to its ability to rapidly polymerize under UV light, forming durable, scratch-resistant surfaces. Also employed in the synthesis of specialty polymers and hydrogels for industrial and biomedical applications. Its bifunctional acrylate structure makes it effective in improving cure speed and network density in radiation-curable formulations.
