Polyepichlorohydrin
Polyepichlorohydrin (CAS: 24969-06-0) is a synthetic hydrophobic polymer with the linear formula [CH(CH2Cl)CH2O]n. It typically presents as a slab or chunk and possesses an average molecular weight of approximately 700,000 g/mol, with a density of around 1.36 g/mL at 25°C. This polymer is valuable in materials science and polymer research due to its unique properties derived from the epichlorohydrin monomer.

Polymer Science Research
Polyepichlorohydrin serves as a model polymer for studying the behaviour of hydrophobic materials and chlorinated polymers. Its structure allows for further chemical modification, making it a versatile subject in academic and industrial research settings.
Materials Science Development
Used in the development of novel materials, its hydrophobic nature can be exploited in applications requiring water resistance or specific surface properties. Research may focus on its use in coatings, membranes, or composite materials.
Intermediate in Chemical Synthesis
The chloromethyl side groups offer reactive sites for further chemical transformations. This makes polyepichlorohydrin a potential building block for more complex polymeric architectures or functional materials.
