  • Applications

    Propenyl ethyl ether (CAS 4696-26-8) is commonly used as an organic synthesis intermediate and as a reactive diluent in coatings and inks; it can act as a monomer or comonomer for allyl/ether-containing polymer systems to enable crosslinking and tailor properties; it is also employed as a solvent for certain specialty formulations; it serves as a building block for subsequent derivatization and production of related intermediates in chemical manufacturing; and it may function as a functional modifier or crosslinking component in adhesive and polymer formulations.
