N-Vinyl-2-pyrrolidone Usage And Synthesis

Description

N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (NVP) is commonly used as a reactive diluent for radiation curing in UV-coating, UV-inks, and UV adhesives. It is used as a monomer to produce water soluble polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) with uses in pharmaceuticals, oil field, cosmetics, food additives & adhesives. It is used in the manufacture of copolymers with, for example, acrylic acid, acrylates, vinyl acetate and acrylonitrile and in the synthesis of phenolic resins.

Chemical Properties

Colorless liquid. Combustible.

Uses

A pyrrolidine used for biochemical research

Safety Profile

Confirmed carcinogen. Moderately toxic by ingestion, inhalation, and skin contact. A severe eye irritant. Probably irritating and narcotic in high concentrations. Combustible when exposed to heat or flame; can react vigorously with oxibzing materials. To fight fire, use alcohol foam, CO2, dry chemical. When heated to decomposition it emits highly toxic fumes of NOx.
