1-Vinylimidazole is a highly reactive imidazole functional monomer with excellent reactivity and broad industrial applications. This product is a colorless to pale yellow transparent liquid with good water solubility and compatibility with a variety of organic solvents. The vinyl group in its molecular structure enables it to participate in free radical polymerization, copolymerizing with acrylics, vinyl groups, and various monomers to prepare high-performance functional polymers. 1-Vinylimidazole can also serve as a highly efficient curing accelerator and adhesion enhancer, improving curing speed, mechanical strength, and chemical resistance.
