2-Vinylpyridine is a pyridine derivative used in the preparation of poly(2-vinylpyridine) via radical polymerization. 2-Vinylpyridine is used to improve effectiveness of protective polymer coatings on metals. It is a reagent for pyridylethylation for new protection method for active hydrogen compounds.. It is also used as basic materials for one of largest-selling plastic, manufacturing pharmaceuticals and bio-compounds.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
