Used in dental resins and prosthetics due to its excellent mechanical strength and resistance to discoloration. Commonly employed in coatings and adhesives where UV stability and durability are required. Acts as a reactive diluent in radiation-curable formulations, improving cure speed and film hardness. Found in specialty polymers for optical applications because of its clarity and refractive index. Also utilized in the synthesis of impact modifiers and toughening agents for brittle plastics.
