Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of monovinyl alcohol ethers, specifically relating to a high-purity monovinyl alcohol ether, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Ethylene glycol monoethylene ether, diethylene glycol monoethylene ether, and 1,4-butanediol monoethylene ether are all vinyl ether compounds. They are colorless and transparent liquids that can be used as reactive diluents and crosslinking agents for UV cationic curing coatings. They can adjust the viscosity of the coating and improve its final performance. Compared with traditional acrylates, vinyl ethers are less toxic, have a higher flash point, are odorless, and are safer and more efficient. They can also be used as crosslinking agents and solvents to improve the curing effect and performance of paints. As a stabilizer, vinyl ethers help maintain the stability of industrial circulating water and reduce scaling and corrosion. Currently, they are widely used as polycarboxylate superplasticizer polyether monomer initiators in high-speed rail projects, cross-sea bridges, nuclear power dams, and skyscrapers.
[0003] Ethylene glycol monovinyl ether, diethylene glycol monovinyl ether, and 1,4-butanediol monovinyl ether are typically produced industrially by reacting acetylene with ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, and 1,4-butanediol under alkaline catalysis. The reaction temperature is usually between 150-180°C, and the reaction can be carried out under normal or pressurized conditions. Due to the small distance between the two hydroxyl groups, the resulting monovinyl alcohol ether continues to react with acetylene to form divinyl alcohol ether, resulting in low conversion and low selectivity, which poses a challenge to the industrial production of monovinyl alcohol ethers.
