Full Description

Bisphenol A diglycidyl ether epoxy resin (CAS 25068-38-6), the bisphenol-A-based liquid epoxy that is the building block of most epoxy systems. It is used to formulate adhesives, protective and industrial coatings, castings and pottings, and fiberglass-reinforced composite laminates. Cured DGEBA epoxies are valued for adhesion and chemical resistance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (DGEBA) used for?

Bisphenol A diglycidyl ether epoxy resin (CAS 25068-38-6) is the bisphenol-A-based liquid epoxy that is the building block of most epoxy systems. It is used to formulate adhesives, protective and industrial coatings, castings and pottings, and fiberglass-reinforced composite laminates, valued for adhesion and chemical resistance after cure.

Who supplies bisphenol A diglycidyl ether in bulk?

RawSource supplies DGEBA epoxy resin (CAS 25068-38-6) in bulk to adhesive, coating, casting, and composite manufacturers. Request a bulk quote with your target volume, viscosity/epoxy-equivalent requirement, and destination.

What is the CAS number and HS code for DGEBA epoxy resin?

DGEBA liquid epoxy resin is CAS 25068-38-6 and classifies under HS 3907.30 (epoxide resins). The single-monomer BADGE has its own CAS (1675-54-3); confirm which form your specification requires on the quote.

What is BADGE and how does it relate to DGEBA resin?

BADGE is bisphenol A diglycidyl ether, the pure diglycidyl ether monomer. Commercial DGEBA liquid epoxy (CAS 25068-38-6) is the oligomeric resin built on that BADGE backbone and is the standard base for most epoxy formulations.

How is DGEBA epoxy resin packaged and can you provide a CoA and SDS?

We supply DGEBA epoxy resin in bulk packaging such as pails, drums, and totes, with packaging and MOQ confirmed per order. A Certificate of Analysis (including epoxy equivalent weight and viscosity) and a Safety Data Sheet are available with each shipment; request a bulk quote with your target volume.
