Basic Information
Product Name: BISPHENOL A DIGLYCIDYL ETHER RESIN
CAS Number: 25068-38-6
Alias: DGEBA, Bisphenol A epoxy resin, BPA diglycidyl ether oligomer
Chemical Full Name: Poly[2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane-co-epichlorohydrin]
Molecular Formula: (C??H??O?)?
Molecular Weight: Oligomer, molecular weight varies with polymerization degree
EINECS: 500-033-5
Structural Information
- Structure Type: Oligomeric bisphenol A type thermosetting epoxy resin
- Structural Features: Repeating unit contains bisphenol A benzene ring skeleton, terminal reactive glycidyl epoxy groups; epoxy groups can cross-link with amine, anhydride, phenolic curing agents to form rigid 3D network; benzene ring endows outstanding mechanical strength, acid & alkali resistance, heat resistance
- Characteristic: The most widely used general-purpose epoxy matrix resin, viscosity and hardness adjustable by molecular weight
Physical & Chemical Properties
- Appearance: Light yellow transparent viscous liquid (low molecular weight liquid grade); off-white solid flakes (high molecular weight solid grade)
- Odor: Slight faint resin odor
- Melting Point: Liquid grade <25°C; solid grade 40–70°C
- Flash Point: >150°C (closed cup)
- Density (20℃): 1.16–1.20 g/cm3
- Solubility: Insoluble in water; miscible with ketones, esters, aromatic solvents, alcohol diluents; compatible with most curing agents, fillers, acrylic resins
- Stability: Stable sealed at room temperature; epoxy ring opens to cross-link under acid, alkali or high temperature; uncrosslinked resin resists dilute acid, dilute alkali and common organic solvents
Synthesis & Applications
Production Method
Polycondensation of bisphenol A and epichlorohydrin under alkaline catalyst, vacuum solvent removal, salt filtration to obtain finished epoxy resin.
Main Applications
- Anti-corrosion Coatings: Floor epoxy paint, container anti-rust coating, electronic insulating varnish, automotive primer
- Structural Adhesives: Metal bonding glue, electronic potting compound, wood composite adhesive
- Composite Materials: Carbon/glass fiber composite matrix, wind turbine blade resin, winding pipeline material
- Electronic & Electrical Materials: PCB copper-clad laminate resin, electronic component encapsulation glue, insulating casting resin
- Construction Engineering: Building reinforcement carbon fiber adhesive, epoxy repair mortar
