1. Coatings and Resin Synthesis:

Used in the preparation of hydroxyl-containing acrylic resins, and in combination with epoxy resins, isocyanates, and melamine-formaldehyde resins for two-component coatings, improving gloss, adhesion, and weather resistance. Suitable for automotive topcoats, industrial protective coatings, and wood coatings.

2. Photocurable Materials:

As a reactive diluent and crosslinking monomer in UV-curable coatings, inks, and adhesives, reducing viscosity and providing the cured film with good flexibility and chemical resistance. Used in printing and packaging, and electronic component encapsulation.

3. Biomedical Materials:

Used in the synthesis of poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) hydrogels for contact lenses, artificial corneas, tissue engineering scaffolds, and drug delivery carriers, utilizing its hydrophilicity, biocompatibility, and controllable swelling properties.

4. Dental Materials:

Used in dental adhesives, composite resins, and denture base resins, providing adhesive strength and biocompatibility. Suitable for tooth restoration, pit and fissure sealing, and orthodontic bonding.

5. Textiles and Nonwovens:

Used in the synthesis of fabric adhesives, nonwoven binders, and fiber treatment agents, improving wrinkle resistance, abrasion resistance, and bonding strength of fabrics. Suitable for clothing and medical nonwoven processing.

6. Electronics and Photosensitive Materials:

Used in photoresists, electronic encapsulation resins, and PCB solder mask inks, enhancing etch resistance and adhesion, facilitating fine line processing; also used as a dehydrating agent in electron microscopy.

7. Polymeermodificatie:

Used as a comonomer to modify PMMA, PVC, etc., introducing hydroxyl groups to improve material adhesion, compatibility, and crosslinkability. Suitable for plastic modification and composite material matrices.

8. Fine Chemicals and Analytical Reagents:

Used as a detergent and dispersant additive in lubricating oils, a water-miscible embedding agent, and a chemical analytical reagent. It can also be used as an intermediate in the synthesis of functional polymers.
