Norbornene

Technical Datasheet | Supplied by Topas Advanced Polymers (Polyplastics)

Bicyclo-[2.2.1] heptane (Synonyms: 2-Norbornylene, 2-Norbornene and Norcamphene). It is made by the Diels-Alder reaction of cyclopentadiene and ethylene, two readily available hydrocarbons. The resulting molecule, a bicyclic olefin, is a bridged six-membered ring with a double bond on one side. The bridged ring puts extra strain on the double bond, making it highly reactive and useful in organic chemical synthesis. Reactions include ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP), radical or cationic polymerization, and vinyl or addition polymerization. Norbornene is a liquid with low viscosity above 47 °C. Solid norbornene has a high solubility in common organic solvents as for example in acetone and in aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or aromatic solvents. Used in high-damping rubber and in the manufacture of COC polymers. 2-Norbornene is listed in the following international chemical inventories: EINECS Number 207-866-0, SWISS Number G-4815, TSCA, NDSL, AICS, ENCS Number 4-1763 (MITI) and PICCS.

Compatible Products Based on HSP Distance

HSP distance provides an indication of compatibility. It is based upon the “like seeks like” principle. The smaller the distance between ingredients, the more compatible they are predicted to be.
