General Description

1,1'-Azobis(cyclohexylnitrile) is a chemical compound used as a free radical initiator in polymerization reactions. It is a colorless, crystalline solid that decomposes at high temperatures to release nitrogen gas and form free radicals. These free radicals are essential for the initiation of polymerization reactions, particularly in the production of polyacrylonitrile and other polymers. 1,1'-Azobis(cyclohexylnitrile) is also known by the acronym "ACN" and is considered to be a relatively safe and efficient initiator for a variety of polymerization processes. However, it is classified as a hazardous chemical and should be handled and stored with caution to prevent accidental exposure and combustion.
