Products Description of Ethyl Vinyl Ether CAS#109-92-2
Ethyl vinyl ether is a colorless, flammable liquid with high chemical reactivity. It can readily undergo polymerization in both liquid and gas phases; therefore, industrial-grade products typically contain polymerization inhibitors to improve storage stability.
It has a freezing point of -115℃, a boiling point of 35–36℃, and a melting point of -115.8℃. The relative density is 0.754 (20/20℃), with a refractive index of 1.3767. Its flash point is -45.5℃, autoignition temperature is 201.66℃, and viscosity is 0.22 mPa·s at 20℃.
Ethyl vinyl ether is slightly soluble in water, with a solubility of approximately 0.9% by weight. Its flammable range in air is 1.7%–28% by volume.
