  • Applications

    Butyl glycidyl ether (CAS 2426-08-6) is used as a reactive diluent for epoxy resin systems to lower viscosity and improve flow, wetting, and cure efficiency; it also serves as a glycidyl-functional monomer that enables crosslinked epoxy networks and helps tailor flexibility in coatings, adhesives, and sealants; it is an intermediate for the synthesis of glycidyl-containing polymers and specialty epoxy resins; in electronics, it finds use in protective coatings, encapsulation, and potting of components; in industrial coatings and inks, it is employed to modify processing characteristics and performance of epoxy-based formulations.
