Resorcinol diglycidyl ether Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Resorcinol diglycidyl ether is a straw yellow liquid with a slight phenolic odor.The phenolic odor is easily perceptible.

Chemical Properties

Straw-yellow liquid. Miscible with most organic resins. Combustible.

Uses

Epoxy resins.

Uses

Resorcinol diglycidyl ether is made by the reaction of epichlorohydrin and resorcinol in the presence of caustic. It is suggested for use as an epoxy resin, as a stabilizer of organic chemicals, as a curing agent for “Thiokol” rubber, and for the solubilizing of protein adhesives.

Uses

Diglycidyl Resorcinol Ether is a Resorcinol (R144700) derivative. Resorcinol is A benzene derivative used as keratolytic and antiseborrheic. Also used in veterinary medicine as a topical antipruritic and antiseptic (has been used as intestinal antiseptic).Environmental toxin on US EPA Toxic Release Inventory list (TRI) list.

Definition

ChEBI: Diglycidyl resorcinol ether is an aromatic ether.

General Description

Clear yellow or straw-yellow viscous liquid. Boiling point 172°C; density 1.21 g / cm3. Possible carcinogen.

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

2,2'-[1,3-Phenylenebis(oxymethylene)]dioxirane is an alkylating agent. Reacts with compounds having a labile hydrogen .

Fire Hazard

2,2'-[1,3-Phenylenebis(oxymethylene)]dioxirane is combustible.

Safety Profile

Confirmed carcinogen with experimental carcinogenic and tumorigenic data. Poison by intraperitoneal route. Moderately toxic by ingestion. Mutation data reported. A skin irritant. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. See also ETHERS.

Carcinogenicity

Diglycidyl resorcinol ether is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in experimental animals.
