  • Applications

    Phenyl glycidyl ether (CAS 122-60-1) is widely used as a reactive diluent and epoxy monomer in formulations for coatings and inks, and as a crosslinking component in epoxy adhesives. It is also employed in electronics encapsulation and potting formulations to enhance adhesion and chemical resistance of cured networks. In the polymers/plastics sector, it serves as an intermediate for the synthesis and modification of epoxy resins and related polymer networks.
