What is Allyl glycidyl ether?
Allyl glycidyl ether (CAS 106-92-3), abbreviated AGE, is a bifunctional reactive monomer carrying both an epoxide and an allyl group.
Where is Allyl glycidyl ether used?
- Epoxy resins: reactive diluent and crosslinker that reduces viscosity and remains chemically incorporated into the cured network
- Polymer modification: introduces pendant allyl functionality onto epoxy backbones, enabling subsequent grafting and further crosslinking for coatings, adhesives and sealants
- Silicone and rubber compounding: compatibilizes inorganic fillers and couples dissimilar polymer phases, improving mechanical performance in the vulcanizate
- It also serves as a functional monomer in ion-exchange resins and specialty hydrogels for separation and filtration media.
Good to know: Stabilized grades inhibit premature polymerization during storage and transport.
Commercial specifications
- Purity typically 98% or higher
- Clear liquid in standard drums, IBCs and bulk tankers
