Application:
- To be used together with liquid epoxy resin, suitable for epoxy embedding material, casting material, coating material, floor material, and adhesive.
- Textile treating agent, silk shrink proof and resistance agent, Perchloride and PVC heat – stabilization agent.
Dosage: In general, should be 10-30% of Epoxy Resin in weight. It contains epoxy group which can neutralize curing agent, so it is necessary to add the quantity of curing agent in course of using.
Description:
Ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (EGDE) is a colorless, transparent reactive diluent widely used in epoxy resin formulations. With low viscosity and high epoxy reactivity, EGDE effectively reduces the viscosity of epoxy systems while maintaining mechanical strength and chemical resistance. It blends easily with various resins and curing agents, offering excellent compatibility and stability. It is suitable for use in epoxy embedding, casting, coatings, flooring, adhesives, as well as in textile treatment and PVC heat stabilization.
Storage & Transportation:
- -Store in a cool, dry and well ventilated area. Keep away from ignition sources, heat and flame and sunlight.
- It is necessary to maintain insulated (tightly seal) after use.
Ethylene Glycol Diglycidyl Ether (CAS No. 2224-15-9)
Q1: What is Ethylene Glycol Diglycidyl Ether (EGDE) used for?
A: EGDE (CAS No. 2224-15-9) is widely used as a reactive diluent in epoxy resin systems. It helps reduce viscosity while maintaining chemical resistance and mechanical strength. Common applications include epoxy casting, coating, adhesives, and flooring materials.
Q2: What are the key properties of EGDE?
