Description

C12-C14 Alkyl Glycidyl Ether (CAS 68609-97-2 ) is a reactive epoxy diluent derived from medium-chain fatty alcohols. It reduces viscosity in epoxy systems while remaining chemically incorporated into the cured network. This process avoids the plasticizing effects associated with non-reactive diluents. In epoxy coatings and floor systems, it lowers application viscosity without sacrificing crosslink density, enabling better substrate penetration. The additive also promotes superior surface leveling during the application process. Adhesive and sealant formulators use it to improve workability in two-component systems while maintaining mechanical performance. In civil construction applications such as concrete primers and injection resins, it extends pot life and aids penetration into porous substrates. This ensures a more durable and reliable bond in structural repairs. Polymer and composite manufacturers also incorporate it as a reactive modifier to reduce brittleness. This improves flexibility in cured epoxy matrices, making the final product more resistant to impact and stress. C12-C14 Alkyl Glycidyl Ether is supplied as a low-viscosity liquid. It is available in technical grade, with epoxide equivalent weight being the primary specification buyers use to evaluate reactivity and dosage. Standard packaging includes drums and IBCs for industrial supply volumes. This ensures safe handling and efficient logistics for large-scale manufacturing and chemical processing facilities worldwide. Contact us for supply of C12-C14 Alkyl Glycidyl Ether Request Quote
