Product description:Colorless irritant liquid. 34 ℃ - 120 ℃, melting point, boiling point. Insoluble in water, soluble in benzene, soluble in ethanol and aether. Molecules containing conjugated double bond, prone to polymerization. Oxidation and polymerization in storage process, often to join a small amount of stabilizing agent such as hydroquinone. It is mainly used for making styrene butadiene rubber and polyisoprene rubber. Can be made by the high temperature cracking liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), or by isopentane and pentene dehydrogenation, also can be made of acetylene and acetone condensation.
