Butyl Glycidyl Ether (BGE) Reactive Diluent
Butyl Glycidyl Ether (BGE) is a monofunctional reactive diluent for epoxy resins that reduces viscosity while participating in the crosslinking reaction upon cure, thus avoiding the plasticizing effect of non-reactive diluents. It is widely used to reduce the viscosity of high-MW epoxy resins for solvent-free coatings, adhesives, and composites without significantly compromising mechanical or chemical resistance. BGE exhibits moderate reactivity and is miscible with most epoxy resins and curing agents.
