Application
1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether is a reactive diluent. This is specifically formulated to significantly reduce the viscosity of epoxy resin systems. Among difunctional reactive diluents, it delivers the greatest overall viscosity reduction, making it highly effective in applications where low-viscosity formulations are essential. It enables the development of systems that retain performance properties similar to those of standard, unmodified epoxy resins. 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether stands out for its superior dilution efficiency, low volatility, and minimal impact on reactivity, making it an excellent choice for enhancing processing characteristics without compromising formulation integrity.
