  • Applications

    Ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (CAS 97-90-5) is mainly used as a bifunctional crosslinking monomer to form network polymers. In UV-curable coatings and inks, it acts as a crosslinker to improve hardness, chemical resistance, and network integrity. It is used as a crosslinking agent in adhesives, sealants, and reactive resins, contributing to enhanced mechanical properties and thermal stability of the formulations. It serves as a crosslinking component in dental resin systems and other polymeric composites. It is employed to form hydrogels and polymer networks for research, sensing, and electronics packaging where controlled crosslink density is important.
