Used primarily as a crosslinking agent in the production of polymers, enhancing mechanical strength, thermal stability, chemical resistance, and durability. Commonly found in dental resins and prosthetics, where it improves resistance to wear. Employed in the synthesis of ion-exchange resins, solid supports for chromatography, and printing ink formulations. Also utilized in hydrogels for biomedical applications, including contact lenses and drug delivery systems. Acts as a comonomer in coatings, adhesives, sealants, and UV-curable inks to increase hardness and chemical resistance. Important in the fabrication of superabsorbent materials for hygiene products and agriculture due to its ability to form water-insoluble networks. Additionally, used in electrical encapsulation and electronic potting compounds for its excellent electrical insulation properties.
