APPLICATIONS

Vinyl: the univalent chemical radical H2C=CHCl-, derived from ethylene. It is a highly reactive, easily polymerizing, and low cost monomer used as basic materials for one of largest-selling plastic. In addition to its application of polymerization to make plastics with huge amount, vinly- is an functional group involved in cycloaddition, addition reactions, and carbon skeleton expansion reactions including Suzuki reaction, Heck reaction. This radical is useful in biomolecules chemistry such as protein sequencing and enzyme inhibitors. Some vinyl compounds impart characteristic flavors.

Vinylidene Chloride is used as a comonomer intermediate in the production of polymers with vinyl chloride, acrylonitrile, acrylates. It can be used to make food packing plastic wrap and flame retardant fabrics. It is used as an intermediate to produce adhesives, lacquer resins and refrigerant.
