Description

Alkyl (C12-C14) Glycidyl Ether is a reactive epoxy-functional intermediate, specifically a glycidyl ether derivative of a C12-C14 alcohol blend. This compound is valued for its ability to introduce epoxy functionality and hydrophobic alkyl chains into polymer systems, enhancing flexibility, adhesion, and chemical resistance. It is primarily used by formulators and manufacturers in the production of advanced epoxy resins, coatings, adhesives, and specialty surfactants.

Application

• Epoxy Resin Modifier: Used as a reactive diluent and flexibilizer in epoxy resin formulations for coatings, composites, and adhesives.
• Surface Coatings: Imparts improved water resistance, flexibility, and adhesion in industrial and protective coatings.
• Adhesive & Sealant Formulations: Enhances the toughness and chemical resistance of epoxy-based adhesives and sealants.
• Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a key building block for the synthesis of specialty surfactants and cationic compounds.
• Fiber Sizing & Treatment: Used in surface treatments for glass and carbon fibers to improve compatibility with polymer matrices.
• Polymer Crosslinking Agent: Functions as a crosslinker in various polymer systems to modify thermal and mechanical properties.

Quality Control

Our Alkyl (C12-C14) Glycidyl Ether is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, epoxy content, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, epoxide equivalent weight, and color are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong bases and incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents. Containers should be kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and maintain product integrity.
