CAS 26838-55-1: Benzene, 1-ethenyl-2,3,4,5,6-pentafluoro-, homopolymer

Description: Benzene, 1-ethenyl-2,3,4,5,6-pentafluoro-, homopolymer, commonly referred to as poly(vinyl pentafluorobenzene), is a fluorinated polymer characterized by its unique chemical structure that incorporates a vinyl group and multiple fluorine atoms attached to a benzene ring. This polymer exhibits high thermal stability and excellent chemical resistance, making it suitable for various applications in harsh environments. The presence of fluorine atoms enhances its hydrophobic properties and contributes to low surface energy, which can be advantageous in coatings and sealants. Additionally, the polymer's electrical insulating properties make it useful in electronic applications. Its mechanical properties can vary depending on the molecular weight and processing conditions, but it generally exhibits good tensile strength and flexibility. Due to its fluorinated nature, it is also resistant to solvents and degradation, which is beneficial in industrial applications. However, handling and disposal must be approached with caution due to potential environmental and health impacts associated with fluorinated compounds.
