Description

Methylmethacrylate-Divinylbenzene Polymer CAS NO 9017-37-2 is a high-performance, cross-linked copolymer synthesized from methyl methacrylate and divinylbenzene. This material is engineered to provide exceptional chemical stability, mechanical strength, and a controlled pore structure, making it a critical component in advanced separation and purification processes. It is essential for industries requiring robust, inert, and high-capacity media for chromatography, catalysis, and specialized filtration applications.

Application

• Chromatography Media: Widely used as a rigid, macroporous stationary phase for High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Size-Exclusion Chromatography (SEC) of polymers, proteins, and other biomolecules.
• Ion Exchange Resins: Serves as a durable backbone for functionalized ion exchange resins used in water purification, demineralization, and hydrometallurgy.
• Polymer Supports & Catalyst Carriers: Acts as an inert, high-surface-area support for immobilizing catalysts, reagents, and enzymes in synthetic chemistry and industrial processes.
• Solid-Phase Extraction (SPE): Employed in SPE cartridges and disks for the selective extraction and concentration of analytes from complex matrices in analytical laboratories.
• Molecular Sieves & Adsorbents: Utilized for the selective adsorption of organic compounds, gases, and vapors in environmental and industrial gas treatment systems.
• Controlled Release Systems: Functions as a matrix for the controlled delivery of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fragrances.
• Specialty Filtration: Incorporated into membranes and filter aids for fine particle removal and clarification processes in the food, beverage, and chemical industries.
