High Performance Polymerization Inhibitors

small amount added Prohibition of polymerization

Plastics manufacturing

Polymerization inhibitors are reagents which are used to prevent undesirable polymerization by light or heat. Conventional polymerization inhibitors, such as hydroquinone, are at a disadvantage because they cannot prevent polymerization under certain conditions. By contrast, high-performance polymerization inhibitors Q-1300 and Q-1301 show a strong polymerization inhibiting effect when purifying or storing highly reactive monomers regardless of conditions. Since Q-1300 is water-soluble, and Q-1301 is oil-soluble, these are applicable for different monomers.

Q-1300 was stored under arbitrary temperature conditions.The appearance and decomposition point of the solid after storage were measured.In addition, the degree of coloring of the solid 1% aqueous solution after storage was measured. When storing Q-1300, 5 wt% ammonium hydrogen carbonate was added as a stabilizer.
