VDF - Preparation Method
Open Data Verified Data
- The partial difluoroethane chlorination method reacts with hydrofluoric acid in the presence of fluorosulfonic acid to produce 1, 1-fluoroethane from dried acetylene, which is compressed, fractionated and purified to obtain refined 1, 1-fluoroethane, it and the quantitative ratio of chlorine gas is fully mixed in 650~680 deg C pyrolysis to generate crude vinylidene fluoride, and then by compression, fractionation, purification, to obtain fine monomer.
- Other methods due to the industrial development of chlorohalothane substitutes in recent years, 1,1-= fluoro-1-chloroethane can be prepared by one-step reaction of 1,1,1-trichloroethane, the hydrogen chloride is then stripped by hot cracking.

VDF - Uses and synthesis methods
use
1,1, 1-difluoroethylene is mainly used to produce polyvinylidene fluoride. 1, 1-difluoroethylene is polymerized in a polymerization kettle with water as the medium, potassium persulfate as the initiator, and a buffer. The temperature is 50-95 ℃, and the pressure is about 3MPa. The powdered polymer obtained is the finished product after washing and drying. This is a product with high mechanical strength in fluoroplastics, which can be molded by general thermoplastic processing methods. It has excellent weather resistance, chemical stability, and heat resistance. It can be used as lining, anti-corrosion diaphragm, chemical machinery seals, gears, bearings, etc. for chemical pipelines, pipe fittings, valves, pumps and storage tanks. There are also many important uses in the electronic and electrical industry. It is also used as a special solvent.
2. Mainly used as monomer raw material for fluororesin and fluororubber
production method
1. undifluoroethane chloride method reacts with hydrofluoric acid in the presence of fluorosulfonic acid to generate 1,1-difluoroethane. after compression, fractionation and purification, refined 1,1-difluoroethane is obtained. it is fully mixed with chlorine gas in a quantitative ratio at 650-680 ℃ for pyrolysis to generate crude vinylidene fluoride, and then compressed, fractionated and purified to obtain. 2. Other methods Due to the development of the chlorofluorosane substitute industry in recent years, 1,1, 1-trichloroethane can be used to produce 1, 1-difluoro-1-chloroethane by one-step reaction, and then heat Cracking to release hydrogen chloride.
