Bisomer HEMA is used extensively in the production of acrylic polyols for automotive OEM and refinish coatings as well as industrial coatings. It is non-toxic and non-yellowing.

It is also used as a co-monomer in styrene based unsaturated polyesters, PMMA based acrylic resins and vinyl ester formulations in anchor bolts and chemical fixings.

It may also be used in the production of emulsion polymers in combination with other commodity methacrylates and acrylates, notably for textile coatings and textile sizes.

Bisomer HEMA is also the major raw material for the production of long-term wear and disposable contact lenses and in turn is an ideal starting point in formulating biomedical hydrogels.
