Used as a reactive diluent in radiation-curable coatings and inks, improving flow and reducing viscosity while enabling fast curing. Acts as a monomer in copolymerization processes, especially in adhesives and specialty polymers where low toxicity and high reactivity are needed. Employed in the synthesis of intermediates for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals due to its versatile vinyl ether functionality. Also utilized in controlled radical polymerization techniques to create polymers with narrow molecular weight distributions.
