Vinyl butyrate（Cat No.:R031972）is an aliphatic ester formed from vinyl alcohol and butyric acid, characterized by its reactive vinyl group and hydrophobic butyrate moiety. It is commonly used as a monomer in the production of copolymers and resins for coatings, adhesives, and inks. Its vinyl functionality allows for free-radical polymerization, often alongside other vinyl esters or acrylic compounds, imparting flexibility and adhesion to finished products. Vinyl butyrate contributes to improved weather resistance, gloss, and water repellency in surface treatments. It is also explored in biomedical and packaging applications for its tunable properties.
