Used primarily as a reactive diluent and crosslinking agent in polymer formulations. Enhances flexibility and durability in coatings, adhesives, and resins. Its unsaturated side chains enable participation in free-radical curing processes, making it suitable for UV-curable systems. Commonly applied in specialty inks and surface finishes where improved adhesion and reduced viscosity are required. Also explored in composite materials to modify mechanical properties and promote interfacial bonding.
