Manufacture

The manufacturing process involves reacting Cyclohexanedimethanol with epichlorohydrin and a Lewis acid catalyst to form a halohydrin. This is followed by washing with sodium hydroxide in a dehydrochlorination step. This forms the diglycidyl ether.[7] The waste products are water and sodium chloride and excess caustic soda. One of the quality control tests would involve measuring the Epoxy value by determination of the epoxy equivalent weight.

Uses

As the molecule has oxirane functionality, a key use is reducing the viscosity of epoxy resins.[8] These reactive diluent modified epoxy resins may then be further formulated into which may then be formulated into CASE applications: Coatings,[9] Adhesives, Sealants,[10] Elastomers, and electronic encapsulant.[11]

It is also used as a monomer in UV curing systems.[12] In addition it is used to synthesize other molecules such as the acrylated version.[13]

Toxicology

The material is classed as a skin irritant.[14]
