General description

Butyl vinyl ether (BVE) is a vinyl ether monomer that is commonly used as a reactive diluent in the radiation-curing process of hybrid polymer coatings for paints, inks, and adhesives. This is due to its high reactivity, which is attributed to the presence of its vinyl group. The reactivity of BVE allows for the polymerization and copolymerization with other monomers. It can also act as a co-monomer when combined with olefins, siloxanediols, and diisocyanates. Furthermore, it can be used to produce homopolymers suitable for applications such as adhesives, paints, lubricants, and elastomers.

Application

Butyl vinyl ether can be used as a monomer:
  • In the synthesis of statistical copolymers through metallocene-mediated cationic polymerization. These statistical copolymers find applications in various fields which include adhesives, surface coatings, lubricants, greases, elastomers, melting compounds, fibers, and films.
  • In the synthesis of poly(vinyl ether) plastics for specific applications in the optical industry. poly(vinyl ether) plastics can be utilized in the production of high-quality optical lenses for various applications, such as eyeglasses, camera lenses, and telescopes.
  • In the synthesis of poly (butyl vinyl ether) adhesives for direct ink writing (DIW) 3D printing. The BVE-based adhesives exhibit viscoelastic properties, rheological properties, and printability which are advantageous for the additive build-up of extruded layers in DIW.
