Reactive Diluents

Features & Benefits

  • Reduces viscosity and surface tension
  • Can improve flexibility of the cured system
  • Increases peel strength and impact strength
  • Reduces stickiness without increasing volatility
  • Improves ease of handling and processing
* These are not common to all products within the portfolio. The choice of product will be determined by the specific properties required by the application.

This largest group of Reactive Diluents usually delivers excellent cured properties. They are used in most of the major epoxy industry segments. We offer four groups - Mono-Functional, Di-Functional, Tri-Functional and Multi-Functional Glycidyl-Ethers.

Mono-Functional Glycidyl-Ether (MGE)
Di-Functional Glycidyl-Ether (DGE)
Tri-Functional Glycidyl-Ether (TGE)
Multi Functional Aliphatic Reactive Diluent
Di-Functional Glycidyl-Ether (DGE)

Most of these diluents have little effect on cross-link density. DGEs deliver viscosity reduction, usually with good retention of mechanical properties, even at elevated temperatures.
