Glycidyl neodecanoate
What is Glycidyl neodecanoate?
Glycidyl neodecanoate (CAS 26761-45-5), commercially known as Glydexx N-10, is a reactive epoxy monomer used to modify resin systems and polymer networks.
Where is Glycidyl neodecanoate used?
- Epoxy formulations: reactive diluent that reduces viscosity while participating in the cure reaction
- Epoxy coatings for automotive and aerospace substrates: lowers viscosity to improve application properties without sacrificing crosslink density
- Adhesives and sealants: enhances flexibility and adhesion to low-energy surfaces
- Printing inks and packaging coatings: supports surface wetting and film formation on difficult substrates
- Polymer manufacturers use it as a reactive building block to introduce pendant epoxy functionality into specialty resins and elastomers.
Commercial specifications
- Clear liquid in drum and IBC quantities
- Technical grade; purity confirmed by epoxide equivalent weight and GC assay
- Store under conditions appropriate for reactive epoxy monomers to preserve shelf life and reactivity
