  • Applications

    Benzyl methacrylate (CAS 2495-37-6) is a methacrylate monomer used to synthesize specialty polymers and copolymers for the plastics and polymer industries; it is employed as a monomer in coatings and UV-curable inks to improve gloss, adhesion, and durability; it acts as a reactive diluent in certain formulations to adjust viscosity and cure performance; it is used in industrial adhesives to enhance bond strength and flexibility; in electronics and optics, it serves as a component of photoresists and high-performance polymer materials for optical and semiconductor applications; and it is a precursor for preparing benzyl-substituted poly(methacrylates) for specialty materials with high performance.
