2-Norbornene
2-Norbornene is a bicyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon compound.

Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Norbornene or norbornylene or norcamphene is a bridged cyclic hydrocarbon. It is a white solid with a pungent sour odor. The molecule consists of a cyclohexene ring with a methylene bridge between carbons 1 and 4. The molecule carries a double bond which induces significant ring strain and significant reactivity.
Chemical identity, substitution pattern, assay and related impurities define the supplied material. The named chemical category does not establish a finished formulation’s compatibility, end-use approval or performance; those depend on the actual grade and application.
