Description
High-purity N-Vinylformamide (NVF, CAS 13162-05-5) supplied as a colorless to pale amber liquid. A reactive vinyl amide monomer that polymerizes to poly(N-vinylformamide), which is readily hydrolyzed to polyvinylamine (PVAm) — a key cationic polymer used in papermaking, water treatment, and oilfield applications.
Applications
- Monomer for polyvinylamine (PVAm) production via polymerization and hydrolysis
- Papermaking additive precursor: wet-strength, retention, and drainage aids
- Water treatment: cationic flocculant polymer precursor
- Oilfield chemicals: drilling fluid and enhanced oil recovery polymer intermediate
- Specialty coatings and adhesives monomer
