1,4-Cyclohexanedimethanol diglycidyl ether

1,4-Cyclohexanedimethanol diglycidyl ether (CAS 14228-73-0 ), also known as CHDMDGE, is a cycloaliphatic epoxy reactive diluent and crosslinker used in polymer and resin systems.

Its aliphatic backbone delivers UV stability and low viscosity that bisphenol-based epoxies cannot match, making it a preferred building block where color retention and outdoor durability are procurement priorities.

In high-performance coatings, CHDMDGE functions as a reactive diluent that reduces system viscosity without introducing non-reactive solvents, supporting low-VOC and solvent-free formulations for industrial finishes.

Adhesive and sealant formulators use it as a crosslinker to improve flexibility and weathering resistance in structural bonds exposed to UV or moisture cycling during long-term outdoor exposure.

In composite and casting resin systems, it extends epoxy networks with reduced yellowing, particularly relevant for clear or light-colored end products requiring high aesthetic standards over time.

Building and construction applications include flooring systems and grouts where its aliphatic structure supports long-term color stability under UV exposure in commercial and residential settings.

CHDMDGE is supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid. It is available in technical grade, with purity specifications typically at 95% or higher depending on the specific supplier requirements.

Packaging ranges from drums to intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) for industrial procurement volumes. This material is handled according to standard industrial chemical safety and storage protocols.
