Allyl methacrylate is a clear liquid monomer used in the production of polymers and resins. It polymerizes readily via radical polymerization processes, yielding polymers with desirable properties such as high transparency and chemical resistance. Common applications include coatings, adhesives, and dental materials. However, its strong odor and potential to cause skin and eye irritation necessitate careful handling and ventilation during use.
