Phenyl glycidyl ether
Phenyl glycidyl ether (PGE) is an aromatic ether with an epoxy group, characterized by a phenyl group attached to a glycidyl ether. This compound is valued for its reactive epoxide functionality, allowing it to serve as a versatile intermediate in various chemical processes.
Applications
- Epoxy Resin Modifier: PGE is often used to modify epoxy resins, enhancing their flexibility, adhesion, and thermal properties. It is a key additive in the production of coatings, adhesives, and sealants.
- Reactive Diluent: In formulations requiring controlled viscosity, PGE functions as a reactive diluent, reducing viscosity while maintaining crosslinking capabilities, especially in high-performance coatings.
- Chemical Intermediate: PGE’s reactivity makes it useful in synthesizing other chemicals, such as surfactants, and in pharmaceutical research.
Shelf Life
Under proper storage conditions, the shelf life is 12 months.
