  • Applications

    Glycidyl laurate (CAS 1984-77-6) is primarily used as a reactive diluent and functional epoxy monomer in epoxy resin systems. In coatings, adhesives, and composites, it lowers viscosity and improves processability while becoming incorporated into the cured network. It also serves as a monomer/intermediate for bio-based epoxy resins and thermosetting polymers, enabling crosslinked networks through reactions with amine or other hardeners, for coatings, adhesives, and electronic encapsulation. Additionally, glycidyl laurate can act as a crosslinkable additive to enhance film properties, adhesion, and durability in coatings and inks, including electronics potting formulations. Finally, it is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of specialty epoxy resins and related polymer materials.
