Vinyl Monomer

Vinyl monomers broadest portfolio in the industry basf combines 90 years of experience in the development of high quality functional vinyl monomers including vinyl ethers and n vinyl compounds with state of the art know how and technology.

Vinyl monomer.

They make up largest family of polymers. Vinyl polymer a group of polymers derived from vinyl monomers. Vinyl acetate monomer vam is a significant intermediate used in the production of a wide range of resins and polymers for paints coatings adhesives sealants elastomers and a myriad of other industrial and consumer applications. They are increasingly used in radiation curing systems because of a lower toxicity profile than the commonly used acrylic monomers.

Vinyl may refer to. Vinyl siding an outer covering of a house. Vinyl composition tile floortiles. Vam efficiently homo polymerizes to polyvinyl acetate pva and is used in numerous random co and terpolymers.

Vinyl acetate is primarily used as a monomer in the production of polyvinyl acetate and polyvinyl alcohol. The name is also used for any compound containing that group namely r ch ch 2 where r is any other group of atoms. Vinyl polymers are polymers made from vinyl monomers. Phonograph record commonly referred to as vinyl because they were made with pvc.

Monomers bearing electron releasing groups are susceptible to cationic polymerization 78 79 these monomers can be classified in two main categories. Vinyl group a class of organic molecules in chemistry. That is small molecules containing carbon carbon double bonds. Let s see how we get from a vinyl monomer to a vinyl polymer using for an example the simplest vinyl polymer polyethylene.

Polyvinyl chloride pvc a particular vinyl polymer. An industrially important example is vinyl chloride precursor to pvc a plastic. Vinyl ethers undergo radical initiated copolymerization in the presence of specific monomers such as maleates fumarates and acrylics. At room temperature vcm is a gas with a sweet ethereal odor but in industrial processes it is most often handled as a liquid melting point 13 c.

1 vinyl monomers for which the reactive end group is a carbocation and 2 heterocyclic monomers bearing one or two heteroatoms within the ring structure for which the reactive end group is an onium ion e g oxonium sulfonium phosphonium etc. Vinyl ethers undergo homopolymerization via a cationic mechanism.
