2,2'-[methylenebis(phenyleneoxymethylene)]bisoxirane Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

General Description

Colorless liquid resin.

Reactivity Profile

2,2'-[methylenebis(phenyleneoxymethylene)]bisoxirane is incompatible with strong oxidizers.

Fire Hazard

Flash point data for 2,2'-[methylenebis(phenyleneoxymethylene)]bisoxirane are not available. 2,2'-[methylenebis(phenyleneoxymethylene)]bisoxirane is probably combustible.

Contact allergens

Epoxy resins based on Bisphenol F, also called phenolic Novolac, contain bisphenol F diglycidyl ether, which has three sensitizing isomers. DGEBF has a greater resistance than DGEBA. Contact allergy to bisphenol-F-based epoxy resins is rarer than that due to bisphenol-A-based resins and is frequently acquired with flooring materials and putty.
