  • Applications

    Benzene, (2-methoxyethenyl)- is mainly used as a chemical building block and monomer in polymer chemistry: it participates in the synthesis of aryl vinyl ether polymers and copolymers for coatings, adhesives, and UV-curable systems; it can act as a reactive diluent and crosslinkable monomer in UV-curable coatings and inks; it serves as an intermediate for synthesizing aryl vinyl ether derivatives used in specialty chemicals and fragrance research; it can also be a building block for specialty polymers used in coatings and electronics, subject to local regulations and formulation constraints.
