Product Overview

Allyl glycidyl ether (99%+ purity) is a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic ether-like odor, designed for high-performance laboratory applications. This AcroSeal®-packaged reagent offers exceptional stability and minimal moisture content, ensuring consistent results in polymerization reactions and organic synthesis. Its low viscosity and high reactivity make it ideal for modifying epoxy resins, enhancing adhesion properties, and cross-linking polymers. The product is sealed under nitrogen to prevent oxidation, maintaining its integrity during storage and handling. With a boiling point of approximately 154°C and flash point of 57°C, it requires standard laboratory safety precautions. The AcroSeal® packaging provides an additional layer of protection against contamination, making it suitable for sensitive research environments. This grade is particularly valued for its ability to form stable allylic ether linkages in various chemical processes.

FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of allyl glycidyl ether when stored properly?

When stored in its original AcroSeal® packaging at room temperature (15-25°C) away from direct sunlight and moisture, allyl glycidyl ether maintains its specified purity for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture. Always check the label for the exact expiration date.

2. Can this product be used directly in epoxy resin formulations?

Yes, allyl glycidyl ether is commonly incorporated into epoxy resin systems as a reactive diluent or modifier. Its allylic functionality improves flexibility and impact resistance in cured epoxy materials without significantly compromising thermal stability.

3. What safety precautions should be taken when handling this chemical?

Always wear nitrile gloves, safety goggles, and work in a fume hood when handling allyl glycidyl ether. The liquid is flammable and may cause skin and eye irritation. Avoid inhalation of vapors and ensure proper ventilation in the workspace.

4. Is this product compatible with standard laboratory glassware?

Allyl glycidyl ether is compatible with most borosilicate glass containers. However, prolonged storage in plastic containers (especially polyethylene or polypropylene) may lead to slight absorption or leaching, so glass is recommended for long-term storage.

5. How does the AcroSeal® packaging benefit this product?

The AcroSeal® packaging system uses a specialized septum cap that prevents air and moisture ingress while allowing for easy syringe extraction. This design minimizes contamination risks and preserves the reagent’s purity during repeated use.
