Poly(dodecyl vinyl ether)

polymer

Poly(dodecyl vinyl ether) is a vinyl ether polymer characterized by long alkyl side chains (dodecyl groups), making it a specialty synthetic polymer with hydrophobic character and relatively low glass transition temperature. While primarily of research interest rather than high-volume production, this material class is explored for applications requiring flexibility, hydrophobicity, and chemical inertness—particularly in coatings, adhesives, and polymer blends where tailored side-chain properties can improve performance versus conventional vinyl polymers or polyolefins.

Safety & Biocompatibility

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
