o-Cresyl glycidyl ether (ortho-cresyl glycidyl ether, o-CGE) is a liquid aromatic organic chemical compound and chemically a glycidyl ether.[2] It has the formula C10H12O2 and the CAS Registry Number 2210-79-9.[3] It is one of a number of glycidyl ethers available commercially that are used to reduce the viscosity of epoxy resins. These are then further used in coatings, sealants, adhesives and elastomers.[4]
Uses
The main use of o-CGE is to reduce the viscosity of epoxy resins.[5][6] These reduced viscosity resins may then be used to formulate coatings including UV cured versions.[7] It is a monofunctional diluent and so in polymer science terms is a chain terminator. Chain extenders (f = 2) and cross linkers (f ≥ 3) are low molecular weight di or tri-functional epoxy diluents. The use of the diluent does effect mechanical properties and microstructure of epoxy resins.[8] As it has glycidyl functionality, it is classed as a Reactive diluent.
Other names
o-CGE is known by a number of other names.[9][10] These include:
- Oxirane, 2-[(2-methylphenoxy)methyl]-
- Propane, 1,2-epoxy-3-(o-tolyloxy)-
- Oxirane, [(2-methylphenoxy)methyl]-[11]
- 2-[(2-Methylphenoxy)methyl]oxirane
- 1-(o-Methylphenoxy)-2,3-epoxypropane
Toxicology
The material is a skin irritant and skin sensitizer. The toxicology has been reasonably well studied.[12][13][14][15] It is REACH registered and produced or imported into the European Union in quantities greater than one thousand tonnes per annum.[16]
