Glycidyl neodecanoate

Glycidyl neodecanoate (CAS 26761-45-5) is a monofunctional epoxy ester commercially known under trade names including Cardura E10, Glydexx N 10, and Epoxide 248. It carries no assigned E-code and is classified within the polymers and resins category, with the molecular formula C13H24O3.

In epoxy coating formulations, glycidyl neodecanoate reacts with amine or acid hardeners to reduce crosslink density, lowering viscosity and improving film flexibility without sacrificing cure integrity. In adhesive and sealant systems, its monofunctional epoxide group acts as a reactive diluent and chain terminator, controlling molecular weight build-up during polymerization.

Glycidyl neodecanoate is supplied as a yellow liquid and is subject to REACH registration requirements within the European Economic Area. Procurement teams should confirm supplier SDS documentation and purity grade prior to specification. Standard packaging formats vary by supplier; bulk and intermediate bulk container options are typically available for industrial volumes.
