Properties and Applications of Vinyl Neodecanoate

Vinyl Neodecanoate, also known as Vinyl Pivalate, is an organic compound in the form of a colorless liquid with a pleasant aroma and good water solubility. As a derivative of neodecanoic acid, it finds extensive applications in the industrial sector, especially as a comonomer for the preparation of various polymers.

Firstly, Vinyl Neodecanoate serves as a medium to high-temperature curing agent for unsaturated polyesters. It is widely used in the curing process of materials such as fiberglass, coatings, and adhesives, especially in the molding processes of SMC, BMC, and DMC. As the preferred curing agent, it exhibits ideal curing effects for both compression molding and pultrusion. Its effectiveness is further enhanced when used in combination with initiators such as BPO, TBPEH, and CH.

In the styrene suspension polymerization process, Vinyl Neodecanoate is commonly used in combination with initiator C and benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as an initiator system for styrene or styrene copolymers. In acrylic ester polymerization, it replaces azo-type initiators, effectively reducing the toxicity of the resin. Additionally, it can also be used in the polymerization reaction of vinyl acetate.

Particularly noteworthy is Vinyl Neodecanoate's exceptional compatibility as a comonomer. It can readily undergo binary or ternary copolymerization with other monomers, imparting exceptional properties to the copolymer. Specifically, copolymerization with vinyl acetate not only simplifies the synthesis process and reduces costs, but also ensures complete polymerization with minimal monomer residue. This results in a low VOC emission, fully complying with environmental regulations. This copolymerized emulsion finds extensive use in the production of various paints, coatings, and adhesives, including interior wall latex paint, water-based exterior wall paint, waterproof coatings, high-durability coatings, water-based wood coatings, and plastic coatings. It can also be used to produce adhesives with excellent adhesion.
