Description

Vinyl Bromide (CAS 593-60-2), also known as bromoethene, is a halogenated organic compound with the molecular formula C₂H₃Br. This colorless gas is a critical building block in organic synthesis and polymer chemistry, particularly in the production of flame-retardant materials and specialty polymers. With a boiling point of 15.8°C (60.4°F), it requires careful handling under controlled conditions. Our high-purity Vinyl Bromide (>99%) is rigorously tested for impurities, ensuring optimal performance in research and industrial applications. Suitable for use in Grignard reactions, polymerization initiators, and as a precursor for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Packaged in sealed, corrosion-resistant cylinders to maintain stability and purity.
