3.1 Description

Lauryl glycidyl ether, with the chemical formula C14H28O2, has the CAS number 68609-97-2. It is a chemical compound that appears as a colorless liquid with a mild odor. The basic structure of lauryl glycidyl ether consists of a lauryl group attached to a glycidyl ether functional group. This compound is soluble in organic solvents but insoluble in water. Lauryl glycidyl ether is considered to be a relatively safe chemical to handle, with no specific safety hazards reported. However, as with any chemical, it is important to follow proper handling and storage procedures to ensure safety.

Applicable Fields

Surfactants: Lauryl glycidyl ether is commonly used as a surfactant in various industries. Its purpose in this field involves its ability to reduce the surface tension of liquids, allowing them to spread more easily. The mechanism of action in surfactants involves the orientation of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic parts of the molecule at the liquid interface, resulting in the formation of micelles and emulsions.

Polymerization: This compound is also used in polymerization reactions. Its purpose in this field involves its ability to act as a reactive diluent, reducing the viscosity of the polymerizable mixture and improving its processability. The mechanism of action in polymerization involves the incorporation of lauryl glycidyl ether into the polymer chain, resulting in modified polymer properties.

Storage

Conditions: Store in a cool and dry place.
