Ethyl vinyl ether

Ethylvinylether (chemical formula CH3CH2OCH=CH2) is a colorless unsaturated monomer with an ether like odor. It is the simplest enol ether that is liquid at room temperature. It is used as a synthetic building block and a monomer. Ethylvinylether by Connect Chemicals has high reactivity, good consistency & exceptional quality.

Properties

Ethylvinylether is an organic compound which is less dense than water and vapors are heavier than air with low-boiling liquid (35-36°C) & flash point below -50°F. It offers low glass transition temperature, protective groups, low toxicity and very good reactivity in the presence of appropriate catalysts.

Main Applications

• Рhаrmасеutісаlѕ
• Lubе Оіl Аddіtіvеѕ
• Flаvоrѕ Аnd Реrfumеrу Сhеmісаlѕ
• Рlаѕtісѕ
• Dіѕреrѕіоnѕ

Рhаrmасеutісаlѕ

Ethylvinylether is a convenient anesthetic drug in all ages and for all operative procedures not requiring muscle relaxion or the use of the cautery. It is an adequate and safe analgesic agent by the open drop technique. Its benefits are rapid induction, emergence, and shift of level of anesthesia. It can be used as monomer for polymerization, cross-linking monomers, and reactive diluents for UV curing.

Coatings

Ethylvinylether is a comonomer for fluoropolymer resins for highly durable coatings. It provides solubility, adhesion and crosslinking. It is also an intermediate of fine chemicals, and can be used in the production of sulfadiazine, disinfectant glutaraldehyde, polymer, coating.

Flаvоrѕ Аnd Реrfumеrу Сhеmісаlѕ

Ethylvinylether is used in as building blocks for aroma and agro chemicals, lubricating oil additives and spices preparation. It acts as an intermediate for sulfadiazine. It finds application in pharmaceuticals as anesthetics and analgesics. Further, it is used as a solvent in organic synthesis.

Inks

As a comonomer, Ethylvinylether is used in the production for polyvinyl ether resins. These soft resins are saponification resistant and improve the adhesion and flexibility of printing inks.

Other Applications

• Ethyl vinyl ether has application in adhesives – It is used as a monomer for tackifying adhesives with varying properties.
• It is the best choice for a wide range of syntheses including polymerization, addition and electro cyclic reactions.
• Ethyl Vinyl Ether is used in biological studies as bio-inspired synthetic nanovesicles for glucose-responsive release of insulin.
