Used as a reactive monomer in the production of polymers and copolymers, particularly in adhesives, coatings, and sealants due to its fast curing and excellent adhesion properties. Its high reactivity makes it suitable for cationic polymerization processes, often applied in radiation-curable systems like UV-curable inks and varnishes. Also utilized in specialty emulsions where low glass transition temperature and good film formation are required. Its volatility and reactivity call for careful handling during industrial use.
