Description

Application
-caprolactone is popularly used in the preparation of poly caprolactone (PCL).

Purpose
For R&D use onlynot for drug household or other uses.

General Description
-caprolactone is a cyclic ester. Ring opening polymerization of -caprolactone initiated by tributylin n butoxide[1]ethyl magnesium bromide[2]or samarium acetate[3]or heteropolyacid[4]leads to the formation of poly caprolactone (PCL).
