Usage

General Description

2,2'-[oxybis(methylene)]bis[2-methyloxirane], also known as DGBE, is a chemical compound commonly used as a curing agent and cross-linking agent in the production of epoxy resins. It is classified as a glycidyl ether and is colorless to pale yellow in appearance. DGBE is characterized by its low volatility and high reactivity with various types of resins. It is commonly utilized in industries such as automotive, electronics, and construction for its ability to improve the performance and durability of epoxy-based materials. However, DGBE has been found to have toxic effects on the respiratory system and skin, and is considered a hazardous material that requires proper handling and disposal.
