Description

1,2-Cyclohexanediol, 4-Oxiranyl- is a versatile bifunctional organic compound that combines the structural features of a cyclohexanediol and an oxirane (epoxide) ring. This unique molecular architecture makes it a valuable chemical intermediate and reactive diluent for advanced material synthesis. It is primarily sought after by R&D and production teams in the polymer, coatings, and specialty chemical industries for developing high-performance resins and cross-linked networks.

Application

• Epoxy Resin Modifier and Reactive Diluent: Used to reduce viscosity and improve flexibility, toughness, and adhesion properties in epoxy formulations for coatings, composites, and adhesives.
• Polymer Cross-linking Agent: Serves as a co-monomer or cross-linker in the production of specialty polyesters, polyurethanes, and other thermosetting polymers.
• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: A key building block for synthesizing more complex molecules in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research due to its reactive hydroxyl and epoxide groups.
• UV-Curable Coating Systems: Incorporated as a functional monomer in formulations for inks, varnishes, and protective coatings that cure under ultraviolet light.
• Adhesive Formulations: Enhances performance characteristics in structural and industrial adhesive systems.
• Surface Treatment Agent: Used to modify surface properties of materials to improve wettability, bonding, or corrosion resistance.

Quality Control

Our 1,2-Cyclohexanediol, 4-Oxiranyl- is produced and handled under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency meet the required specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters are available for every shipment upon request, providing full traceability and quality assurance for your processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after initial opening to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product quality and reactivity.
