Description

Application
Used as a radical initiator in polymerization reactions. Employed in the manufacture of plastics such as acrylics and polystyrene. Used in organic synthesis for various free-radical reactions. Utilized in research laboratories and industrial chemical processes.

Purpose
The primary purpose of AIBN is to generate free radicals that initiate polymerization and other radical-based chemical reactions making it an important reagent in polymer and organic chemistry.

General Description
2 2-Azobis(2-methylpropionitrile). It commonly known as AIBN. It is a white powder organic compound widely used as a free-radical initiator. When heated it decomposes to produce nitrogen gas and free radicals that initiate chemical reactions.
