Divinylbenzene Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Description

Divinylbenzene is a clear yellow liquid with an aromatic odour. It is a highly flammable and reactive chemical, and the liquid and vapour are combustible. It is incompatible with strong acids and oxidising agents and peroxides. Divinylbenzene reacts vigorously with strong oxidising agents. It also reacts exothermically with both acids and bases, with reducing agents (such as alkali metals and hydrides), and release gaseous hydrogen. May react exothermically with both acids and bases or initiators undergo exothermic polymerisation. It is an extremely versatile chemical cross-linking agent used to improve polymer properties. Divinylbenzene has extensive industrial applications for example, in the manufacture of adhesives, plastics, elastomers, ceramics, biological materials, catalysts, membranes, pharmaceuticals, specialty polymers, and ion exchange resins, as coatings, divinyl benzene has been reported to improve surface properties of rubber goods for biomedical applications, used in photocurable protective coatings for wood, metal, glass, and plastic materials.

Physical properties

Divinylbenzene is a water-white to straw colored liquid. Slightly less dense than water and insoluble in water. Vapors may be toxic. Used in making rubber.Synthetic rubber is any one of a group of man-made elastomers that approximate one or more of the properties of natural rubber(polyisoprene). Divinylbenzene has been used in Styrene-Butadiene copolymers (SBR) as adhesives and as processing aids in the extrusion of general purpose rubbers. Rubbers used as impact modifiers such as Methacrylate-Butadiene-Styrene (MBS) have been improved with the inclusion of Divinylbenzene.

Uses

Divinylbenzene (DVB) is an extremelyversatile cross-linking agent that also improves polymer properties. it has been used to manufacture adhesives,plastics, elastomers, ceramics, biologicalmaterials, coatings, catalysts, membranes, pharmaceuticals, specialty polymers, and ion exchange resins.
DVB has been found to improve the hightemperature strength of adhesives used tobond aluminum to aluminum. Used in anacrylic hydrosol to bond Bakelite resin andpolyester film, DVB was found to increasecreep rupture time dramatically. DVB hasfound utility in cross-linked styrene/butadienepolymers used for caulks and mastics for theconstruction industry.
DVB has been used in the production ofreversed-phase packings for liquidchromatography. Highly cross-linkedpolystyrene packings have been shown tofunction under extreme conditions of highpressures and temperatures. Ion exchangechromatography (IEC) is applicable to theseparation of almost any type of chargedmolecule, from large proteins to smallnucleotides and amino acids.

Chemical Properties

A water-white to straw colored liquid. Slightly less dense than water and insoluble in water. Flash point below 141°F. Vapors may be toxic. Used in making rubber.

Uses

Divinylbenzene is a specialty monomer used primarily to make cross-linked polystyrene resins. The largest use of divinylbenzene (DVB) [CAS: 1321-74-0] is in ion-exchange resins for domestic and industrial water softening. Ion-exchange resins are also used as solid acid catalysts for certain reactions, such as esterification. Divinylbenzene is manufactured by dehydrogenation of diethylbenzene, which is an internal product in the alkylation plant for ethylbenzene production.

Uses

Comonomer for preparation of crosslinked polymers in production of ion exchange beads and gel permeation chromatography polystyrene beads; polymerization monomer for synthetic rubber, drying oils, and casting resins

Uses

Divinylbenzene is used as a reactive monomer in polyester resins and for the synthesis of highly crosslinked macroporous styrene as well as a crosslinking agent. It acts as an intermediate in the production of ion exchange resin. Further, it is used in making rubber, petroleum production and polymeric core shell nanoparticles. In addition, it is used to synthesize monodispersed poly divinylbenzene microspheres.

Definition

ChEBI: 1,2-Divinylbenzene is a member of styrenes.

General Description

Divinylbenzene (DVB) consists of a combination of meta and para isomers of DVB and ethylvinylbenzene. It can be used as a monomer for the preparation of linear polydivinylbenzene by anionic polymerization.

Air & Water Reactions

Flammable. Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

Divinylbenzene may react vigorously with strong oxidizing agents. Can react exothermically with reducing agents (such as alkali metals and hydrides) to release gaseous hydrogen. May react exothermically with both acids and bases. May in the presence of various catalysts (such as acids) or initiators undergo exothermic polymerization. Inhibited by presence of an additive. When uninhibited violent polymerization may occur . Substitution at the benzene nucleus occurs by halogenation (acid catalyst), nitration, sulfonation, and the Friedel-Crafts reaction.

Health Hazard

Divinylbenzene is an irritant of eyes, nose, and mucous membranes.
Mild respiratory irritation occurred in workers exposed to 0.4–4ppm divinyl benzene. Mild irritation was also reported from skin and eye contact.

Fire Hazard

Divinylbenzene is combustible.

Flammability and Explosibility

Not classified

Safety Profile
