Azo polymerization initiators

V-501

CAS : 2638-94-0

Non-halogen water-soluble

Plastics manufacturing

Photocurable

V-501 is a nitrile-based water-soluble azo polymerization initiator, having a carboxyl group at the end. By introducing carboxyl group at polymer, post-polymerization mddification can be achieved.

  • Non-halogen water-soluble azo initiator
  • soluble in hot water or methanol
  • 10 Hour half-life decomposition temperature: 63℃ (DMF)
