APPLICATIONS

Diglycidyl resorcinol ether, difunctional glycidyl ether of resorcinol; containing 2 epoxide groups ( three-membered ring cyclic ethers that are also known as oxiranes or alkylene oxides). Aliphatic glycidyl ethers are used as epoxy resin diluents to reduce viscosity, favoring improved filler loading and substrate wetting and resulting in faster curing time. Aromatic glycidyl ethers are used as agent to reduce elevation temperature and to improve homogeneity by protecting crystallization of epoxy resins. End applications include coating, adhesive, casting, laminating, encapsulation or foam. It is used as a epoxy resin modifier for the fast cure and for the improved chemical resistance.
