Description

4-Dioxanone (CAS 3041-16-5) is a high-purity cyclic ester compound with the molecular formula C₄H₆O₃, widely utilized in polymer chemistry and material science. Also known as 1,4-dioxan-2-one, this versatile monomer is a key precursor in the synthesis of biodegradable polyesters, particularly poly(p-dioxanone) (PPDO), which exhibits excellent biocompatibility and mechanical properties. Our 4-Dioxanone is rigorously tested for purity (typically ≥98%) via GC/HPLC analysis, ensuring optimal performance in ring-opening polymerization (ROP) applications. Supplied in amber glass vials under inert atmosphere to prevent moisture absorption and premature polymerization. Ideal for researchers developing absorbable sutures, drug delivery systems, and eco-friendly plastics.
