Vinylidene chloride is an important organic compound commonly used in the production of polyvinyl chloride polymers. It possesses excellent properties such as oxidation resistance, heat resistance, and low permeability, making it widely used in applications such as packaging materials, coatings, inks, adhesives, and more. However, vinylidene chloride is toxic to humans and can pose hazards to the central nervous system and respiratory system. Therefore, it is important to observe proper safety precautions when handling this compound.
Properties:
- Vinylidene chloride is a colorless transparent liquid with relatively low melting and boiling points.
- It possesses excellent properties such as oxidation resistance, heat resistance, and low permeability, making it widely used in applications such as packaging materials, coatings, inks, adhesives, etc.
- Vinylidene chloride has low solubility in water and most organic solvents, but is compatible with many resins and plastics.
Uses:
- Mainly used in the production of polyvinyl chloride copolymers for applications such as packaging films, pipes, coatings, etc.
- Vinylidene chloride can also be used as an antioxidant, heat stabilizer, and barrier gas to enhance product performance.
Synthesis:
- Vinylidene chloride is typically produced by the reaction of chloroethylene with chlorine gas under UV light or heating conditions.
Safety:
- Vinylidene chloride is a toxic compound that can be harmful to the central nervous system and respiratory system.
- Precautions should be taken to avoid inhalation of vapors and skin contact, including the use of appropriate personal protective equipment such as respirators, goggles, and gloves.
- Operations should be carried out in well-ventilated areas, and contact with oxygen, strong oxidizing agents, and other hazardous substances should be avoided.
- Proper waste disposal procedures must be followed to prevent environmental contamination according to relevant regulations.
use
Vinylidene chloride is 1, 1-dichloroethylene, which is an intermediate for the preparation of methyl dichlorochrysanthemum by the vinylidene chloride method. In addition to its own polymerization, the product can also form copolymers with vinyl chloride, acrylonitrile, butadiene, methacrylic acid, methyl methacrylate and other substances, and is used in the polymer industry and the film industry.
1, 1-dichloroethylene based (at least 80%) copolymer, can be prepared with refractory metachlor. 1, 1-dichloroethylene is copolymerized with acrylonitrile, butadiene, acrylate, styrene, etc., and various synthetic resins can be prepared. Vinylidene chloride resin can be processed into fibers or films, and can be used for surface coating of paper or plastic films. Polyvinylidene chloride fiber can be used to produce fabrics, tents, insect-proof nets, car cushions, etc. Polyvinylidene chloride film has less air permeability and moisture permeability than other plastic films, and is suitable for food packaging. With methacrylic acid, methyl methacrylate and other copolymers, can be used in the film industry.
Mainly used in the production of vinylidene chloride-vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride-acrylonitrile and vinylidene chloride-acrylate copolymers
Mainly used to make synthetic fibers, etc.
production method
The industrial preparation method is obtained by the reaction of vinyl chloride and chlorine to first prepare 1,1, 2-trichloroethane, and then dehydrochlorination with 10% calcium hydroxide aqueous solution. Raw material consumption quota: vinyl chloride 730kg/t, chlorine 870kg/t, calcium hydroxide 750kg/t, trichloroethane 1500kg/t.
production method
The industrial preparation method is to prepare 1,1,2-trichloroethane by using iron filings as a catalyst at 80~90 ℃ with vinyl chloride and chlorine gas, and then treat trichloroethane with sodium hydroxide at 80~90 ℃ React, remove one molecule of hydrogen chloride to obtain crude vinylidene chloride, and then distill to obtain the finished product. Reaction equation: CH2 = CHCl[Cl2]& rarr;[FeCl3]CH2Cl-CHCl2[NaOH]& rarr;CH2 = CCl2
