Isobutyl Vinyl Ether / Isobutanol Vinyl Ether ≥ 98%
Isobutyl Vinyl Ether – (CAS 598-49-0) Supplier in South Africa
Overview of Isobutyl Vinyl Ether
Isobutyl Vinyl Ether, also known as Isobutanol Vinyl Ether, is a high-purity, colorless liquid with a minimum purity of 98%. It is widely used as a monomer, reactive diluent, and chemical intermediate in polymer synthesis and specialty chemical production.
Its excellent reactivity in vinyl polymerization and solubility in organic solvents makes it ideal for applications in coatings, adhesives, resins, and specialty polymers.
As a trusted chemical supplier in South Africa, Forge Chemicals Limited provides high-quality Isobutyl Vinyl Ether suitable for industrial, research, and commercial applications.

Production Methods
Isobutyl Vinyl Ether is typically produced via the vinylation of isobutanol under controlled catalytic conditions. The product is then purified by distillation to achieve a minimum purity of 98%, making it suitable for polymerization and chemical intermediate applications.
Industrial Applications
Isobutyl Vinyl Ether is widely used in various industries due to its reactive vinyl group and solvent properties.
Polymer Industry: Used as a monomer or comonomer in vinyl-based polymer synthesis.
Coatings and Adhesives: Serves as a reactive diluent in UV-curable coatings, adhesives, and sealants.
Chemical Intermediates: Used in the production of specialty chemicals, functional polymers, and surfactants.
Research and Development: Employed as a reagent in laboratory-scale polymerization and chemical synthesis.
Safety Information
Handling: Flammable and reactive. Avoid inhalation, ingestion, and contact with skin or eyes. Use personal protective equipment and work in a well-ventilated area.
Storage: Store in tightly sealed, flame-proof containers away from heat, sparks, and strong oxidizers. Preferably under inert atmosphere.
Disposal: Dispose of according to local environmental, chemical, and safety regulations.
