Glycidyl phenyl ether CAS 122-60-1

Glycidyl phenyl ether Basic information

     Phenyl glycidyl ether, also known as glycidyl phenyl ether or PGE, is a clear liquid with a sweet odor that is considered unpleasant. It is soluble in ether and benzene, but insoluble in water.  It has the ability to volatilize with water vapor. It is used in the production of epoxy resins, as a chemical intermediate, and as a stabilizer.

    Phenyl glycidyl ether (PGE) is utilized in organic syntheses as an intermediate.      As a reactive diluent, PGE is incorporated into uncured epoxy resins to lower viscosity, thereby facilitating casting, adhesives, and laminating applications.
    2-Phenylglycidyl ether is an organic synthesis;     chemical intermediate with high solvency for halogenated materials;     reactive diluent of epoxy-resin systems;     forms chemical bonds with the resin during cure and accelerates the curing process.
    PGE is synthesized by condensation of phenol with epichlorohydrin, with subsequent dehydrochlorination with caustic to form the epoxy ring.
