ARALDITE M Usage And Synthesis

Uses

4-tert-Butylphenyl glycidyl ether is used in paint industry and serves as organic coating in Paint, boat Paint, building coating material. It is also used as an epoxy reactive diluent.

General Description

Clear light yellow liquid.

Air & Water Reactions

Ethers tend to form unstable peroxides when exposed to oxygen. Ethyl, isobutyl, ethyl tert-butyl, and ethyl tert-pentyl ether are particularly hazardous in this respect. Ether peroxides can sometimes be observed as clear crystals deposited on containers or along the surface of the liquid. Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

ARALDITE M, an ether, can act as a base. They form salts with strong acids and addition complexes with Lewis acids. The complex between diethyl ether and boron trifluoride is an example. Ethers may react violently with strong oxidizing agents. In other reactions, which typically involve the breaking of the carbon-oxygen bond, ethers are relatively inert.

Fire Hazard

ARALDITE M is combustible.
