Used primarily in dental composites and restorative materials due to its ability to enhance mechanical strength and wear resistance. Improves the durability of dental fillings by promoting better cross-linking in resin matrices. Also employed in bone cements and orthopedic implants for its biocompatibility and contribution to setting strength. Acts as a cross-linking agent in polymer systems, enhancing thermal and chemical resistance in coatings and adhesives. Its reactivity in free-radical polymerization makes it valuable in radiation-curable formulations for industrial coatings.
