Sodium vinylsulfonate

Sodium vinylsulfonate (CAS 3039-83-6), commonly abbreviated as SVS, is a reactive monomer used as a building block in polymer synthesis and surface modification chemistry.

Where is Sodium vinylsulfonate used?

• Water treatment: copolymerized into scale inhibitors and dispersants that prevent mineral deposit buildup in industrial cooling systems and boilers
• Textile and paper processing: SVS-based polymers improve dye uptake uniformity and wet fastness on fiber surfaces
• Plastics and polymers: comonomer in ion-exchange resins, antistatic coatings and hydrophilic membrane materials
• Leather finishing: SVS copolymers for durable surface treatments with improved adhesion and water resistance
• It introduces permanent sulfonate functionality into polymer chains.

Commercial specifications

• Aqueous solution, typically 25% or 30% active content
• Packaged in drums and intermediate bulk containers
