CAS #110489-05-9
Allyl alcohol (AAL) is a water-soluble liquid used as a comonomer and chemical intermediate, featuring both a polymerizable allylic moiety and a reactive hydroxyl moiety. It forms low molecular weight copolymers with low monomer conversions due to its low reactivity vinyl functionality and chain-transfer properties. AAL is utilized in thermoplastic polyol resin modifiers and thermosetting resin applications, producing durable materials despite polymerization challenges. Special care is required in handling allyl alcohol due to its unique properties.
