Global Ethylidene Norbornene Sales Data & Market Report 2020 and Forecast 2021-2026

                                          
Ethylidene norbornene is a colorless liquid intermediate monomer with an odor of turpentine. It is prepared by isomerization of vinyl norbornene, which in turn is obtained by the Diels-Alder reaction of (cyclopentadiene and 1,3 Butadiene) in a chemical plant. Ethylidene norbornene is used in the production of ethylene-propylene diene monomer (EPDM) elastomers that are employed in the production of synthetic rubber (EPDM rubber). Ethylene-propylene diene monomer rubber is used in various applications such as automotive vehicles, food containers, and electrical & electronic equipment.

ENB or Ethylidene Norbornene is a bicyclic monomer and intermediate that contains two double bonds, each with different reactivity. Its chemical formula is C9H12. Its boiling point is 297.7 ° F at 760.0 mm Hg and its melting point is -112 ° F. The flashpoint for ENB is approximately 30-40ºC.

It is possible to react one of the double bonds, and retain the other double bond for subsequent reaction. ENB is produced from vinyl norbornene, which is made from butadiene and dicyclopentadiene DCPD. The substance is a mild irritant to the skin and is a slight eye irritant to rabbits. Ethylidene Norbornene may react vigorously with strong oxidizing agents. It may react exothermically with reducing agents to release hydrogen gas. In the presence of various catalysts (such as acids) or initiators, it may undergo exothermic addition polymerization reactions. It is flammable and insoluble in water. At ambient temperature and pressure, ENB is a colorless liquid with an extremely strong odor. Ethylidene Norbornene has a fast cure and good tensile strength.

Uses and Applications of Ethylidene Norbornene:
ENB is a compound used in the production of ethylene-propylene diene monomer (EPDM) elastomers that are used in the production of synthetic rubber (EPDM Rubber). EPDM rubber is used in wide variety of applications, ranging from motor vehicles to food containers. ENB is an industrial chemical used to make other industrial chemicals. ENB is the most widely used termonomer employed even though it is most expensive, the reasons being that it is the readiest for incorporation during copolymerization and the double bond introduced has the greatest activity for sulfur vulcanization. Norbornene is utilized to make pharmaceutical intermediates, pesticide compounds, specialty fragrances, and in general organic synthesis. The polymers manufactured using ENB may be acceptable by the United States Food and Drug Administration for applications that include indirect food additives and polymers used as closures with sealing gaskets for food containers.

EPDM is widely used in the automotive industry and construction industries for various seals due to its excellent resistance to environmental factors such as ozone, ultraviolet (UV) and general weathering. Typical applications are window and door seals, electrical gaskets, waterproofing sheets, water-resistant sealing parts and wire-coating.

Market Analysis and Insights: Global Ethylidene Norbornene Market
The global Ethylidene Norbornene market size is projected to reach US$ XX million by 2030, from US$ XX million in 2020, at a CAGR of XX% during 2021-2026.
