Monomers, Intermediates, and Base Polymers Information

Monomers, intermediates and base polymers are ingredients used in the production of:

 

  • Compounded resins
  • Plastics and elastomers
  • Paints or organic coatings
  • Adhesives and sealants

Monomers, oligomers and other intermediates are the starting materials or precursors used for polymer synthesis. Polymerization combines several monomers to form a raw polymer, polymeric binders, or uncompounded resins:

Base polymers and monomers are blended with fillers, chemical additives, etc. to produce:

 

  • Compounded resins
  • Plastics and elastomers
  • Paints or organic coatings
  • Adhesives and sealants

Formula for compounded resins:

Monomers

 

A monomer is a small molecule unit that polymerizes or chemically bonds to other monomers to form a polymer, which is a chain or network of 'many mers' or repeating units. Examples of monomers include hydrocarbons such as the alkene and arene series.

 

Hydrocarbon monomers, such as styrene and ethene, form polymers used in plastics, such as polystyrene and polyethene. Other commercially important monomers include acrylic monomers such as:

 

  • Acrylic acid
  • Methyl methacryl
  • Atecrylamide

Caprolactum is the precursor used to produce polyamide or nylon resins. Vinyl chloride is the prepolymer used to product polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic resins. Siloxanes are used to produce polysiloxane or silicone polymer resins.

 

Standards

 

ASTM D1243 - Standard test method for dilute solution viscosity of vinyl chloride polymers. 

ASTM D5575 - Standard classification system for copolymers of vinylidene fluoride (vdf) with other fluorinated monomers.
