Chemical properties:
Colorless, volatile, irritating oily liquid. Insoluble in water, soluble in benzene, easily soluble in ethanol, ether, and acetone.
Uses:
1. This product is an important monomer for synthetic rubber, accounting for 95% of the total output of isoprene, mainly used for the synthesis of isoprene rubber, and its output ranks third after styrene-butadiene rubber and butadiene rubber. Secondly, it is used as a comonomer for the synthesis of butyl rubber to improve the vulcanization performance of butyl rubber, but the amount is very small. Isoprene is also used for synthetic resins, liquid polyisoprene rubber, etc. It is also used in the manufacture of pesticides, medicines, fragrances, and adhesives.
2. It is mainly used to produce polyisoprene rubber with properties close to natural rubber, and is also the second monomer of butyl rubber and SIS thermoplastic elastomer
3. It is an important monomer for synthetic rubber, accounting for 95% of the total output of isoprene, mainly used for the synthesis of isoprene rubber, and its output ranks third after styrene-butadiene rubber and butadiene rubber. It is also used as a comonomer in the synthesis of butyl rubber to improve the vulcanization performance of butyl rubber. It is used in synthetic resins, liquid polyisoprene rubber, etc. In recent years, it is also used to synthesize linalool, squalene, etc. These are intermediates for further synthesis of fragrances, medicines, pesticides, etc., and the proportion of its usage is relatively small.
