Application
Divinylbenzene, an 80% mixture of isomers, is a versatile, pale straw-colored liquid primarily used in the production of advanced materials. As a reactive monomer, it plays a crucial role in the formulation of polyester resins and the synthesis of highly crosslinked macroporous styrene. It also serves as a vital crosslinking agent and intermediate in creating ion exchange resins. With its ability to aid in rubber manufacturing, petroleum production, and the creation of polymeric core shell nanoparticles, Divinylbenzene's functionality extends across various industries. Furthermore, it is instrumental in synthesizing monodispersed poly divinylbenzene microspheres. Despite its insolubility in water and volatility with a flash point below 141°F, this product is an essential component in numerous chemical processes. Additionally, the commercial mixture is predominantly composed of the m-isomer, with precautions taken to prevent unwanted polymerization.
