Uses/Applications

Polymer Synthesis
DEM is primarily used as a monomer in the synthesis of various polymers and copolymers. It can undergo polymerization reactions with other monomers to produce polymers with desirable properties such as flexibility, durability, and chemical resistance. Some examples of polymer applications include:

• Polyesters: DEM is used in the production of polyesters, which find applications in fibers, packaging materials, and engineering plastics.
• Polyacrylates: DEM can be copolymerized with acrylic monomers to produce polyacrylate resins used in coatings, adhesives, and sealants.
• Polymethacrylates: DEM can also be copolymerized with methacrylic monomers to produce polymethacrylate resins used in coatings, adhesives, and medical devices.

Plasticizers
DEM can be used as a comonomer in the production of plasticizers, which are additives added to plastics to improve their flexibility and workability. Plasticizers containing DEM can be used in applications such as PVC products, films, and coatings.

Chemical Intermediates
DEM serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of various chemical compounds. It can undergo reactions to produce other compounds such as specialty esters, surfactants, and pharmaceutical intermediates.

Resin Modification
DEM can be used to modify the properties of resins and coatings. It can be copolymerized with other monomers to introduce specific functionalities or improve performance characteristics such as adhesion, flexibility, and weather resistance.

Adhesives and Sealants
DEM can be used as a monomer in the production of adhesives and sealants. It can contribute to the formulation of adhesives with desirable properties such as flexibility, adhesion, and chemical resistance.
