Description

Decyl Vinyl Ether (CAS NO 765-05-9) is a versatile higher alkyl vinyl ether monomer valued for its ability to undergo cationic polymerization and act as a reactive intermediate in organic synthesis. Its primary commercial value lies in its role as a key building block for creating specialty polymers, functional materials, and fine chemicals. This product is essential for manufacturers in the polymer, coatings, adhesives, and pharmaceutical intermediate sectors seeking to introduce long alkyl chain functionality into their products.

Application

• Polymer & Resin Modification: Used as a comonomer in cationic polymerization to produce poly(vinyl ethers) with enhanced flexibility, hydrophobicity, and adhesion properties for coatings, adhesives, and sealants.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a crucial intermediate in the synthesis of surfactants, plasticizers, and lubricant additives, where the decyl chain imparts desirable solubility and surface-active characteristics.
• Pharmaceutical & Agrochemical Intermediates: Employed in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and agrochemicals through reactions like addition, cyclization, and etherification.
• UV/EB Curable Systems: Acts as a reactive diluent and monomer in ultraviolet (UV) and electron beam (EB) curable inks, coatings, and 3D printing resins, contributing to low viscosity and fast cure rates.
• Telechelic Polymers: Utilized in the synthesis of telechelic polymers and macromonomers for advanced material science applications, including block and graft copolymers.

Quality Control

Our Decyl Vinyl Ether is manufactured under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including Gas Chromatography (GC) for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and industry standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C to maximize stability and shelf life. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and acids.
