Sodium isopropoxide / 5g

Sodium isopropoxide is an alkoxide, specifically a sodium alkoxide, derived from isopropanol. It is a white solid that dissolves readily in water and ethanol, making it useful in various chemical reactions and processes. Sodium isopropoxide is primarily used as a catalyst in the production of polymers and plastics, where it promotes the polymerization of olefins and other monomers. Its reactivity and solubility characteristics make it an essential component in the chemical industry.

Application:

In the chemical industry, sodium isopropoxide is employed as a catalyst in the polymerization of olefins, leading to the production of polypropylene and other polyolefin-based materials. Its role in initiating and accelerating the polymerization process allows for the control of polymer properties such as molecular weight and branching, which are critical for the performance of final products. Additionally, its use extends to the synthesis of other organic compounds and materials.
