Vazo® free radical sources initiate the addition of compounds such as chlorine, hydrogen sulfide, thiols, and phosphines across double bonds.
Vazo® reacts with unsaturated compounds in equimolar amounts to give monomers and oligomers, which contain two Vazo®-derived groups. These dinitriles can be further converted to amides, amines, or acids.
Vazo® free radical sources initiate halogenations as well as the air oxidation of aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons, acrylonitrile, methyl methacrylate, and vinyl acetate. Vazo® free radical sources release nitrogen gas when used, which can be used as a blowing agent.
