Dicyclopentenyloxyethyl acrylate (DCPOEA) is a functional acrylate monomer featuring a rigid dicyclopentyl ring and a reactive acrylate group. It is widely used in UV-curable coatings, adhesives, inks, and specialty polymer formulations to enhance hardness, chemical resistance, and thermal stability.
