DeltechDeltech Monomers para-tertiary-Butyl Styrene (TBS)

Minimum Assay:99.2 - 99.5 %

Deltech para-tertiary-butyl Styrene (TBS) is a versatile substitute for styrene monomer, offering improved properties and fewer handling restrictions. It exhibits low volume shrinkage during polymerization, a high affinity for oils, high solvent receptivity, and improved water resistance in copolymers. From an environmental perspective, TBS has a low vapor pressure and high flash point, reducing emissions from storage or handling and minimizing the flammability hazard. Moreover, its low volatility decreases monomer fumes in the workplace, and it is not classified as a listed air toxic, thus avoiding many environmental use requirements.

DeltechDeltech Monomers Vinyl Toluene (VT)

Minimum Assay:99.2 - 99.5 %

Deltech Vinyl Toluene (VT) is a mixture of methylstyrene isomers, with approximately 55% meta and 45% para isomer distribution. This reactive monomer readily polymerizes to form a high-clarity, colorless polymer with excellent electrical and physical properties. In many applications, VT demonstrates superior properties compared to styrene monomer.

DeltechDeltech Monomers para-Methylstyrene (PMS)

Applications:Resin Manufacturing, Chemical Manufacturing, Other Paints & Coatings Applications
Product Families:Styrenics, Monomers & Oligomers
Chemical Family:Styrenics
End Uses:Unsaturated Polyesters, Sealants, Polymer

Deltech para-Methylstyrene (PMS) is recommended for evaluation as a replacement for vinyltoluene and styrene monomers. It shares similar chemical properties and polymerization behavior with both vinyltoluene and styrene. When used as a partial or complete replacement for styrene monomer in unsaturated polyester resin applications, polymerized resin products exhibit lower vapor pressure at any temperature and a higher flashpoint. Additionally, PMS offers advantages such as lower shrinkage during molding, improved thermal properties, and greater tensile strength in glass-filled applications.

DeltechDeltech Monomers DIEB - HP (High Purity Di-Ethylbenzene)

Function:Intermediate
CAS Number:25340-17-4
Synonyms:Benzene, diethyl-

Deltamer™ DIEB - HP (High Purity Di-Ethylbenzene) is a versatile product utilized in various chemical processes. It is used in the oxidation process to produce diEB hydroperoxide, which acts as a free radical initiator or as an intermediate in the preparation of ethylphenols, commonly used as additives in lubricating oils, rubbers, and resins. Additionally, Deltamer™ DIEB - HP finds application in heat transfer fluids and is produced through alkylation.

DeltechDeltech Monomers DiEB (Di-Ethylbenzene)

Function:Intermediate

DIEB (Di-Ethylbenzene) is a clear amber liquid with excellent stability. This product is widely used in multiple applications, including lubricating oils, heat transfer fluids, and the manufacturing of synthetic rubber and resins. It is intended for commercial and industrial applications requiring consistent and high-performance characteristics. DiEB serves as a raw material for various uses and has an odor characteristic of aromatic hydrocarbons.

Applications:Resin Manufacturing, Chemical Manufacturing, Chemical & Industrial Manufacturing
Product Families:Vinyls, Vinylics & Vinyl Derivatives, Other Monomers & Oligomers, Monomers & Oligomers
Chemical Family:Vinyls, Vinylics & Vinyl Derivatives
End Uses:Unsaturated Polyesters, Ion-Exchange Resin, Casting Resin

Deltech Divinylbenzene 63% (DVB63) is a reactive monomer primarily composed of divinylbenzene and ethylvinylbenzene isomers. It is commonly used in the synthesis of ion-exchange resins and in the production of unsaturated polyester resins and casting resins, where DVB63 serves as a cross-linking agent, providing rigidity. The appearance of this product is that of a yellowish-clear liquid.

DeltechDeltech Monomers Aromatics Byproduct (DVB)

Applications:Chemical Manufacturing, Chemical & Industrial Manufacturing
Product Families:Hydrocarbons, Solvents
Chemical Family:Hydrocarbons, Aromatics

Deltech Aromatics Byproduct (DVB) serves as an octane supplement and belongs to the chemical family of aromatic hydrocarbons. It is a water-white liquid with an aromatic odor and is typically not reactive under normal conditions. This versatile product finds applications in various fields, including coatings, adhesive tackifiers, functional polymers, molded composites, and insulating varnishes.

DeltechDeltech Monomers Divinylbenzene 80% (DVB80)

Applications:Chemical Manufacturing, Chemical & Industrial Manufacturing
Product Families:Vinyls, Vinylics & Vinyl Derivatives, Other Monomers & Oligomers, Monomers & Oligomers
Chemical Family:Vinyls, Vinylics & Vinyl Derivatives
End Uses:Polyester

Deltech Divinylbenzene 80% (DVB80) is an extremely reactive monomer. It appears as a clear to slightly hazy amber liquid and has an odor characteristic of aromatic hydrocarbons. Special care is needed with DVB80, as heat-initiated free radical polymerization can easily occur, making the monomer molecule unstable when heated. To prevent premature free radical polymerization, it is treated with tertiary Butyl Catechol (TBC) as an inhibitor. DVB80 is utilized in various fields, including coatings, adhesive tackifiers, functional polymers, molded composites, and insulating varnishes.
