Monomeric Or Polymeric Vinyl

The name is also used for any compound containing that group namely r ch ch 2 where r is any other group of atoms.

Monomeric or polymeric vinyl.

In chemistry vinyl or ethenyl abbreviated as vi is the functional group with the formula c h ch 2 it is the ethylene iupac ethene molecule h 2 c ch 2 with one fewer hydrogen atom. Monomeric and polymeric describe the type of plasticizer used to create a flexible finished vinyl. Cast films are considered the industry premium as films are ideal for complex surfaces such as vehicles and contoured surfaces. Monomeric vinyl is polyvinylchloride pvc polymer which is quite a hard material that is not very pliable so plasticisers are added as well as colour pigments uv and heat stabilisers as well as fillers and processing aids then this whole chemistry set is mixed up heated up until pliable but not mouton and fed through high pressure rollers.

To summarize mono means one poly means many and meric means body or unit. Now that we understand plasticizers we can tell a lot by the names given to the two types of calendered film. What do monomeric and polymeric mean. Cast vinyl is a high end vinyl and has strongest chemical bond in polyvinylchloride pvc.

There are no double bonds found in the carbon backbone since the double bond is broken in order to make the monomer reactive in the polymerization process. Polymeric vinyl is the repeating unit of a vinyl polymer. Polymeric vinyl lasts longer than monomeric vinyl in outdoor conditions and therefore is more expensive. It is located in the carbon backbone of the polymer.

The carbon backbone is made out of carbon atoms bonded covalently with each other.
