Description

[(Tetradecyloxy)Methyl]Oxirane CAS NO 38954-75-5 is a specialized long-chain alkyl glycidyl ether, a high-value epoxide derivative used as a reactive intermediate and functional monomer. This compound matters for its ability to introduce hydrophobic, long-chain alkyl groups and reactive oxirane functionality into polymer backbones, significantly modifying material properties. It is primarily needed by formulators and researchers in the polymer, coatings, and specialty chemical industries seeking to enhance flexibility, hydrophobicity, and cross-linking density in advanced materials.

Application

• As a reactive diluent and hydrophobe modifier in epoxy resin formulations for coatings, adhesives, and composites.
• As a key monomer for the synthesis of specialty surfactants and polymeric dispersants with unique surface-active properties.
• In the production of advanced polyols for polyurethane systems, influencing foam flexibility and water resistance.
• For the modification of cellulose and other natural polymers to impart hydrophobic characteristics.
• As a chemical intermediate in organic synthesis for introducing the tetradecyloxymethyl moiety into target molecules.
• In research and development of novel polymeric materials with tailored rheological and interfacial properties.
