Used primarily as a reactive diluent and crosslinking agent in UV-curable coatings and printing inks. Provides excellent adhesion, hardness, and chemical resistance to the final film. Commonly employed in radiation-curable formulations for wood, metal, and plastic coatings. Its cycloaliphatic structure contributes to low viscosity and good weatherability, making it suitable for exterior applications. Also found in some pressure-sensitive adhesives and industrial finishes where rapid curing and durability are required.
