Product Family
Aliphatic Reactive Diluents
This largest group of Reactive Diluents usually delivers excellent cured properties. They are used in most of the major epoxy industry segments. We offer four groups - Mono-Functional, Di-Functional, Tri-Functional and Multi-Functional Glycidyl-Ethers.
Mono-Functional Glycidyl-Ether (MGE)
They have the lowest viscosity. They usually also reduce the cross-link density of the epoxy polymer. At higher usage levels mechanical strength and temperature resistance will be affected.
