Description

Triethylene glycol divinyl ether (CAS 765-12-8 ), also marketed as Rapi-Cure DVE-3, is a difunctional vinyl ether monomer used as a reactive diluent and crosslinker in UV-curable and radiation-curable systems. It reduces formulation viscosity while contributing to the cured network, unlike inert solvents that must be driven off during processing. In UV-curable inks and coatings, it lowers viscosity for high-speed printing applications. This monomer improves cure speed and flexibility in the final film. Adhesive formulators use it to tune crosslink density, balancing peel strength and elongation in pressure-sensitive and structural adhesive systems. Its flexible glycol backbone makes it effective as a reactive plasticizer in polymer networks where brittleness must be controlled without sacrificing cure performance. This ensures high-quality results in various industrial settings. Sealant and elastomer manufacturers incorporate it to improve substrate wetting and compliance in cured formulations. This versatility makes it a staple component for modern chemical manufacturing and material science. Triethylene glycol divinyl ether is supplied as a clear liquid. It is available in technical grade, with inhibited variants standard for storage and shipping stability to ensure the highest product integrity. Packaging typically ranges from drums to IBC totes, with bulk quantities available for industrial procurement.
