Request SDS →C12-C14 alkyl glycidyl ether (CAS 68609-97-2), a monofunctional aliphatic epoxy reactive diluent based on C12-C14 alcohols. Like other glycidyl ethers, it is added to epoxy resin systems to reduce viscosity and to improve wetting and flexibility.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is C12-C14 alkyl glycidyl ether used for?
C12-C14 alkyl glycidyl ether (CAS 68609-97-2) is a monofunctional aliphatic epoxy reactive diluent based on C12-C14 alcohols. It is added to epoxy resin systems to reduce viscosity, improve substrate and filler wetting, and add flexibility to the cured epoxy.
Is C12-C14 alkyl glycidyl ether a reactive or non-reactive diluent?
It is a reactive diluent. Because it carries a glycidyl (epoxide) group, it chemically incorporates into the epoxy network during cure rather than remaining as a free, extractable plasticizer like a non-reactive diluent.
How does it differ from butyl glycidyl ether?
Both are monofunctional glycidyl-ether reactive diluents, but this product is built on long C12-C14 alkyl chains versus butyl glycidyl ether's short butyl chain. The longer chain gives lower volatility and adds more flexibility to the cured resin, while butyl glycidyl ether gives greater viscosity cut at lower weight.
What is the cost of bulk C12-C14 alkyl glycidyl ether?
Pricing depends on volume, packaging, and freight, so RawSource quotes per order rather than listing a fixed price. Send your target quantity against CAS 68609-97-2 for a current bulk quote.
Does RawSource supply C12-C14 alkyl glycidyl ether in bulk with documentation?
Yes. We distribute epoxy reactive diluents in drums and IBC totes and provide a Certificate of Analysis and Safety Data Sheet with shipments. Request current docs against CAS 68609-97-2.
