C12–C14 Alkyl Glycidyl Ether Reactive Diluent
CAS Number: 68609-97-2
C12–C14 Alkyl Glycidyl Ether is a monofunctional reactive diluent derived from natural C12–C14 fatty alcohols, offering very low skin sensitization potential compared to short-chain glycidyl ethers while still effectively reducing epoxy resin viscosity. It participates in the cure reaction to build a flexible, resilient network, improving the impact resistance and peel strength of cured adhesives. Its bio-based origin and improved toxicological profile make it a preferred choice for safety-conscious formulators.
