Allyl glycidyl ether

Allyl glycidyl ether (AGE, CAS 106-92-3) is a reactive bifunctional compound carrying both an epoxide and an allyl group. It is also referenced under the names Glycidyl allyl ether and NCI-C56666. No E-code designation applies to this substance.

In polymer and rubber processing, AGE acts as a reactive modifier and heat stabilizer by cross-linking polymer chains through its epoxide group, improving thermal resistance. In food and fragrance applications, it functions as a flavorant and fragrance ingredient, contributing sweet aromatic notes. Its antimicrobial activity also supports preservation applications in formulated products.

AGE is supplied as a liquid-phase reagent and falls under REACH registration requirements for European market supply. Buyers should confirm purity grade against intended application, whether industrial polymer use or flavor and fragrance compounding. Standard packaging formats for this substance typically include drums and intermediate bulk containers. HS code 29109000 applies for import and export classification.
