What is Diglycidyl terephthalate?
Diglycidyl terephthalate (CAS 7195-44-0), also known as terephthalic acid diglycidyl ester, is a bifunctional epoxy monomer used as a reactive building block and crosslinker in polymer systems.
Where is Diglycidyl terephthalate used?
- Coatings: functional component in thermoset formulations via controlled network formation from its two epoxide groups
- Powder coatings: crosslinking agent for carboxyl-functional polyester resins, contributing to film hardness and chemical resistance
- Adhesives and sealants: builds epoxy networks with defined aromatic backbone rigidity
- Polymer research and specialty resin manufacturing: monomer for epoxy-polyester copolymers with tailored Tg and crosslink density
- In structural adhesive systems it is evaluated as a reactive diluent or modifier where aromatic character improves thermal stability.
Commercial specifications
- Packaging from small laboratory quantities to bulk manufacturing quantities
