Description

Epoxy-4-Vinylcyclohexene is a reactive, low-molecular-weight cycloaliphatic epoxide and vinyl monomer. This compound matters as a versatile chemical intermediate, offering two distinct reactive sites—the epoxide ring and the vinyl group—enabling its use in polymerization and cross-linking reactions. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the polymer and specialty chemical industries for producing advanced resins, coatings, and adhesives with tailored properties.

Application

• Cross-linking Agent: Used to modify and enhance the thermal and mechanical properties of epoxy, polyester, and acrylic resin systems.
• Reactive Diluent: Functions as a low-viscosity component in epoxy formulations to improve processability without significantly compromising final performance.
• Monomer for Specialty Polymers: Serves as a building block for synthesizing cycloaliphatic polymers and copolymers with enhanced chemical resistance and weatherability.
• Intermediate for Fine Chemicals: A key starting material in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and advanced organic compounds.
• Adhesive & Sealant Formulations: Imparts flexibility and adhesion strength in high-performance industrial adhesive and sealant products.
• UV-Curable Coatings: Incorporated into formulations for coatings that cure rapidly under UV light, used in electronics and optical applications.

Quality Control

Our Epoxy-4-Vinylcyclohexene is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, identity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, epoxide content, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C (refrigerated) to minimize volatility and polymerization risk. This product is easily oxidized and highly volatile; it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) and handle with appropriate precautions to prevent moisture ingress and evaporation.
