Application

trans-2-Butene can be used as a monomer unit to produce high molecular weight polyolefins with well-defined microstructures by nickle-catalyzed polymerization reaction. It is also used as a reactant in the isomerization reaction to produce the corresponding isomer using acid-activated catalysts.

Packaging

Supplied in a Sure/Pac™ cylinder and has a brass needle valve with a male 1/4" NPTF outlet thread installed. Before using the cylinder, ensure that the valve is closed, then remove the galvanized steel hex cap that seals the outlet valve.

Compatible with the following:

The reactivation of organophosphorus compound (OP)-inhibited acetylcholinesterase (AChE) by oximes is inadequate in case of different OP nerve agents. This fact led to the synthesis of numerous novel oximes by different research groups in order to identify more effective reactivators.
