Used primarily as a reactive monomer in the production of specialty polymers and resins. Its unique ester structure provides excellent weather resistance and UV stability, making it ideal for high-performance coatings and exterior-grade paints. Commonly employed in radiation-curable systems such as UV and electron beam curing applications, where it contributes to fast curing, good adhesion, and low viscosity formulations. Also utilized in pressure-sensitive adhesives and printing inks due to its balance of hydrophobicity and reactivity. Its cycloaliphatic component enhances thermal stability, which benefits applications requiring durability under harsh environmental conditions.
