Used primarily as a reactive diluent and crosslinking agent in UV-curable coatings and adhesives. Its acrylate functionality enables rapid polymerization under UV light, improving cure speed and hardness of the final product. Commonly found in industrial coatings for plastics and metals, where it enhances scratch resistance, chemical stability, and adhesion. Also utilized in specialty inks and electronic encapsulants due to its low volatility and good thermal performance after curing.
