Vinyl Monomer

Vinyl ethers undergo radical initiated copolymerization in the presence of specific monomers such as maleates fumarates and acrylics.

Vinyl monomer.

Vinyl group a class of organic molecules in chemistry. Vinyl siding an outer covering of a house. Let s see how we get from a vinyl monomer to a vinyl polymer using for an example the simplest vinyl polymer polyethylene. Vinyl acetate is primarily used as a monomer in the production of polyvinyl acetate and polyvinyl alcohol.

In chemistry vinyl or ethenyl abbreviated as vi is the functional group with the formula c h ch 2 it is the ethylene iupac ethene molecule h 2 c ch 2 with one fewer hydrogen atom. That is small molecules containing carbon carbon double bonds. 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 may refer to.

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. An industrially important example is vinyl chloride precursor to pvc a plastic. Vinyl polymer a group of polymers derived from vinyl monomers. Minor uses of vinyl chloride monomer include the manufacture of chlorinated solvents primarily 10000 tonnes per year of 1 1 1 trichloroethane and the production of ethylene diamine for the manufacture of resins.

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. Vinyl ethers undergo homopolymerization via a cationic mechanism. Vinyl chloride also known as vinyl chloride monomer vcm and chloroethene is an organochloride compound. 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 polymers are polymers made from vinyl monomers. 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 composition tile floortiles.

Vam efficiently homo polymerizes to polyvinyl acetate pva and is used in numerous random co and terpolymers. They make up largest family of polymers.
