Description

m-Vinylphenol is a versatile phenolic monomer with a reactive vinyl group, enabling its use in polymerization and as a key synthetic intermediate. Its primary commercial value lies in its ability to introduce phenolic functionality into polymers and to serve as a building block for specialty chemicals. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the polymer, agrochemical, and pharmaceutical industries seeking to develop advanced materials and active ingredients.

Application

• Polymer & Resin Modification: Used as a co-monomer to incorporate phenolic groups into vinyl polymers, acrylics, and styrenic resins to enhance adhesion, thermal stability, and chemical resistance.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a crucial intermediate in the production of fine chemicals, agrochemicals, and pharmaceutical precursors.
• Adhesive & Coating Formulations: Imparts improved bonding characteristics and durability in high-performance adhesive and coating systems.
• Photoresist & Electronic Materials: Employed in the synthesis of polymers for photoresists and other electronic chemicals due to its photoreactive potential.
• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: Acts as a starting material for the synthesis of certain aroma chemicals, though typically in highly purified grades.
• Crosslinking Agent: Functions as a reactive diluent or crosslinker in thermosetting polymer systems to modify network density and properties.

Quality Control

Our m-Vinylphenol is produced under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. Each lot is analyzed to confirm identity, purity, and the absence of critical impurities. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications and test results is provided with every shipment. We support compliance with global regulatory frameworks, including REACH.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its properties of being easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
