n-Butyl vinyl ether
n-Butyl Vinyl Ether (NBVE) is mainly used as reactive diluent, for example in the radiation curing of hybrid polymer coatings for paints, inks, adhesives, etc., which transform within a few seconds to a solid state through a chemical reaction, and as co-monomer (with Olefins, Siloxanediols and Diisocyantes for example). In coatings a solid and dry film is formed.
n-Butyl Vinyl Ether (NBVE) can further be used alone to prepare homopolymers for adhesives, paints, lubricators, elastomers, etc..
When used as reactive diluent for adhesives, coatings, finishes, lube-oil-additives, etc. n-Butyl Vinyl Ether (NBVE) provides compatibility, hydrophilicity, plasticity, etc. and can improve processing, dyeing, toughness, softness, clarity, brilliance and other properties of the material.
n-Butyl Vinyl Ether (NBVE) is also used as an intermediate for the production of polyvinyl ether and other chemical compounds, for example as intermediate for pharmaceuticals, plasticizers and anticorrosives.
Shelf life
