Product Description
DVB Divinylbenzene
A versatile cross-linking monomer.
Divinylbenzene (DVB) is a versatile cross-linking agent that also improves polymer properties. It allows you to create materials not otherwise possible and enhance the properties of existing materials. Only a small amount of this chemical agent is needed to improve chemical and physical properties of many polymers.

DVB is a mixture of isomers of divinylbenzene and ethylvinylbenzene. Dow provides three high-purity products with increasing amounts of cross-linker. DVB can be used to modify many polymers that have found utility in adhesives, ion exchange resins, specialty plastics, elastomers, and other applications.

DVB Product Properties
VBC Vinylbenzyl Chloride
For the synthesis of specialty monomers and polymers.
Vinylbenzyl Chloride (VBC) can be homopolymerized or copolymerized using solution, suspension, ionic, mass, emulsion, and other specialized techniques. You can polymerize VBC or chemically modify VBC the way you want, to get the final product you want.

VBC lets you attach functional groups before or after polymerization. VBC, also known as chloromethyl styrene (CMS), consists of a polymerizable double bond and a benzylic chloride group. You can carry out reactions on the chloromethyl group before or after polymerization. You can react the vinylbenzyl chloride with primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, and many other nucelophiles.

VBC has been used to create products with a variety of structures such as films, beads, coatings, and many more.
