Glycidyl isobutyl ether
Glycidyl isobutyl ether (CAS: 3814-55-9, C7H14O2) is a reactive epoxide monomer with a molecular weight of 130.18 g/mol. This clear, colourless liquid serves as a crucial building block in polymer science and materials science. Its epoxy group readily participates in polymerisation reactions, enabling the synthesis of various polymers and resins. Glycidyl isobutyl ether is supplied by TSS with a minimum assay of 97%.
Epoxy Resin Synthesis
Glycidyl isobutyl ether acts as a reactive diluent or a monomer in the formulation of epoxy resins. It can be polymerised to form epoxy-based materials used in coatings, adhesives, and composites, offering enhanced flexibility and toughness.
Polymer Modification
It can be incorporated into polymer chains to introduce epoxide functionalities, allowing for subsequent cross-linking or modification. This is valuable in developing advanced materials with tailored properties.
Chemical Intermediate
As an epoxide, it serves as an intermediate in organic synthesis for producing more complex molecules. The epoxide ring can undergo ring-opening reactions with various nucleophiles.
