Deltech Vinyl Toluene (VT) is a mixture of methylstyrene isomers, with approximately 55% meta and 45% para isomer distribution. This reactive monomer readily polymerizes to form a high-clarity, colorless polymer with excellent electrical and physical properties. In many applications, VT demonstrates superior properties compared to styrene monomer.

Deltech para-tertiary-butyl Styrene (TBS) is a versatile substitute for styrene monomer, offering improved properties and fewer handling restrictions. It exhibits low volume shrinkage during polymerization, a high affinity for oils, high solvent receptivity, and improved water resistance in copolymers. From an environmental perspective, TBS has a low vapor pressure and high flash point, reducing emissions from storage or handling and minimizing the flammability hazard. Moreover, its low volatility decreases monomer fumes in the workplace, and it is not classified as a listed air toxic, thus avoiding many environmental use requirements.

Deltech para-Methylstyrene (PMS) is recommended for evaluation as a replacement for vinyltoluene and styrene monomers. It shares similar chemical properties and polymerization behavior with both vinyltoluene and styrene. When used as a partial or complete replacement for styrene monomer in unsaturated polyester resin applications, polymerized resin products exhibit lower vapor pressure at any temperature and a higher flashpoint. Additionally, PMS offers advantages such as lower shrinkage during molding, improved thermal properties, and greater tensile strength in glass-filled applications.

StanChem Polymers SC 5019 is a HEC stabilized, vinyl acetate emulsion with very high molecular weight and a highly branched structure. SC 5019 exhibits good water resistance and high electrolyte tolerance. SC 5019 is recommended for use in the production of paper laminating adhesives, joint cement and textile sizing.

Deltech Aromatics Byproduct (DVB) serves as an octane supplement and belongs to the chemical family of aromatic hydrocarbons. It is a water-white liquid with an aromatic odor and is typically not reactive under normal conditions. This versatile product finds applications in various fields, including coatings, adhesive tackifiers, functional polymers, molded composites, and insulating varnishes.

StanChem Polymers SC 6477 is a highly efficient, alkali-swellable acrylic emulsion that is recommended for thickening synthetic emulsions. SC 6477 can be incorporated directly into a binder system. Thickening begins with the addition of ammonia, sodium hydroxide or an amine to raise the pH to 7.0-8.0 for maximum thickening.

StanChem Polymers SC 6044 is a high solids, medium hand, all acrylic and self-crosslinking emulsion. SC 6044 provides outstanding durability to washing and dry cleaning.

StanChem Polymers SC 6445 is an acrylic copolymer emulsion that exhibits excellent UV resistance, good solvent resistance, good pigment binding and SC 6445 being carboxylated, can be cross-linked with melamine.

StanChem Polymers SC 6016 is self-crosslinking acrylic emulsion when the polymer is cured at temperatures of 300 – 350 °F, depending on the time and temperature of cure. Added acid catalyst can increase the rate of cure.

Deltech Divinylbenzene 63% (DVB63) is a reactive monomer primarily composed of divinylbenzene and ethylvinylbenzene isomers. It is commonly used in the synthesis of ion-exchange resins and in the production of unsaturated polyester resins and casting resins, where DVB63 serves as a cross-linking agent, providing rigidity. The appearance of this product is that of a yellowish-clear liquid.

Deltamer™ DIEB - HP (High Purity Di-Ethylbenzene) is a versatile product utilized in various chemical processes. It is used in the oxidation process to produce diEB hydroperoxide, which acts as a free radical initiator or as an intermediate in the preparation of ethylphenols, commonly used as additives in lubricating oils, rubbers, and resins. Additionally, Deltamer™ DIEB - HP finds application in heat transfer fluids and is produced through alkylation.

DIEB (Di-Ethylbenzene) is a clear amber liquid with excellent stability. This product is widely used in multiple applications, including lubricating oils, heat transfer fluids, and the manufacturing of synthetic rubber and resins. It is intended for commercial and industrial applications requiring consistent and high-performance characteristics. DiEB serves as a raw material for various uses and has an odor characteristic of aromatic hydrocarbons.

Deltech Divinylbenzene 80% (DVB80) is an extremely reactive monomer. It appears as a clear to slightly hazy amber liquid and has an odor characteristic of aromatic hydrocarbons. Special care is needed with DVB80, as heat-initiated free radical polymerization can easily occur, making the monomer molecule unstable when heated. To prevent premature free radical polymerization, it is treated with tertiary Butyl Catechol (TBC) as an inhibitor. DVB80 is utilized in various fields, including coatings, adhesive tackifiers, functional polymers, molded composites, and insulating varnishes.
