2,2'-Azobis(2-methylpropionitrile) CAS#78-67-1

Basic Information

2,2'-Azobis(2-methylpropionitrile)
Azobisisobutyronitrile
AIBN
white powder

Azobisisobutyronitrile, commonly abbreviated AIBN, is a white powdered azo compound that dissolves in alcohols and many organic solvents but not in water. Its decomposition generates free radicals, making it useful as an initiator for vinyl polymerization and related chemical reactions. It is also employed as a blowing agent in plastics and rubber and in studies of radical polymerization kinetics.

product description

Effective Radical Initiator: AIBN is widely used as a radical initiator in vinyl polymerizations and other chemical reactions.


Versatile Solubility: It is soluble in alcohols and many common organic solvents, allowing flexible use in various formulations.


Foaming and Blowing Agent: AIBN functions effectively as a foamer and blowing agent in plastics and rubber production.


High Reactivity for Industrial Applications: Its ability to ignite readily and burn persistently makes it suitable for catalytic and polymerization processes.

Product Description of 2,2'-Azobis(2-methylpropionitrile) CAS#78-67-1

Azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN, CAS 78-67-1) is an organic compound presented as a white powder. It dissolves in alcohols and most common organic solvents but is insoluble in water, with a higher density than water. Moderately toxic by ingestion, AIBN is highly flammable, easily ignited by sparks or open flames and burns fiercely, releasing toxic nitrogen oxides during combustion. It serves as a common radical initiator for vinyl polymerization and a blowing agent for plastics and rubber, widely used in catalysis and polymer material manufacturing.


Product Application of 2,2'-Azobis(2-methylpropionitrile) CAS#78-67-1

2,2'-Azobis(2-methylpropionitrile) (AIBN) is a prevalent radical polymerization initiator. It undergoes homolytic cleavage to form high-activity free radicals. As the most widely used azo initiator, it features stable decomposition, generates uniform free radicals, and causes little induced decomposition, making it ideal for free radical polymerization kinetics research.
