  • Applications

    Cyclohexylidenediphenylmethane (CAS 30125-24-7) is primarily used as an organic synthesis intermediate and building block for downstream chemical materials. In the plastics and polymer fields, it may serve as a precursor for specialty polymers and resin systems. For UV-curable coatings and inks, it is sometimes employed as a reactive component that can participate in crosslinking or network formation. In adhesive formulations, it may function as a resinous ingredient or coupling component, with actual use governed by formulation needs and regulatory requirements.
