BUTYL POLYDIMETHYLSILOXYL ETHYLENE/PROPYLENE/VINYLNORBORNENE COPOLYMER

Substance information

"Butyl" normally refers to butanol (1-butanol or n-butanol) as an alcoholic component or generally a saturated hydrocarbon chain with 4 carbon atoms. Polymer or copolymer based on propene and possibly other monomers. Polymer or copolymer based on ethene (ethylene) and possibly other monomers. Polymer or copolymer based on vinyl alcohol or vinyl esters and possibly other monomers. The methyl group is one of the simplest arrangements of atoms in organic chemistry which can be found as a moiety of numerous organic molecules. The name „methyl“ is derived from methane, the member of the alkane hydrocarbon group with the lowest molecular weight. The methane molecule contains four hydrogen atoms each one bound to a central carbon atom. The methyl group is not an independent chemical entity and contains only three hydrogen atoms, the fourth binding site is generally used for binding to a larger, mainly organic molecule. Like all alkanes, methyl groups exhibit a particularly low chemical reactivity. "...Siloxy" generally refers to a silicone-oxygen group, particularly in siloxanes. Siloxanes are silicone compounds in which the silicone atoms are interlinked via oxygen bridges. Polymeric siloxanes are referred to as silicones. "Copolymer" refers to a polymer composed of several different (mostly two) basic units (monomers).
