Used primarily as a reactive diluent in UV-curable coatings and inks, it enhances flexibility and adhesion properties. It is also employed in the production of polymers and resins, where it acts as a crosslinking agent to improve durability and performance. Additionally, it finds use in the synthesis of specialty chemicals, including adhesives and sealants, due to its ability to modify viscosity and enhance curing efficiency. Its vinyl ether group makes it valuable in photopolymerization processes, contributing to faster curing times and improved material properties.
