Vinyl Methyl Oxazolidinone

Vinyl Methyl Oxazolidinone is a multifunctional monomer widely used as a reactive diluent and organic synthesis intermediate. It combines low viscosity, high copolymerization activity, excellent adhesion, and favorable toxicological characteristics, making it particularly suitable for UV-curable adhesives, coatings, and inks.

Physical and Chemical Properties

Product Description

Vinyl Methyl Oxazolidinone offers multiple technical advantages as a reactive diluent:

1. Low viscosity and easy handling

   • Liquid at room temperature

   • Very low viscosity (approximately 4 mPa·s)

   • Enables the formulation of low-viscosity and nearly odorless systems compared with conventional raw materials

2. High copolymerization activity

   • Exhibits strong copolymerization reactivity with acrylates

   • Provides excellent adhesion on most common substrates even at low addition levels

3. Improved appearance of finished products

   • Enhances brightness and color quality of printed products and coatings

4. Favorable toxicological profile

   • According to European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) classification, it does not require labeling for “Serious health hazard” or “Acute toxicity”

   • Offers safety advantages compared with traditional reactive diluents
