Manufacture

Trimethylolpropane and epichlorohydrin are reacted with a Lewis acid catalyst to form a halohydrin. The next step is dehydrochlorination with sodium hydroxide. This forms the triglycidyl ether.[9][10]

Uses

As the molecule has 3 oxirane functionalities, a key use is modifying and reducing the viscosity of epoxy resins.[11] These reactive diluent modified epoxy resins may then be further formulated into CASE applications: Coatings,[12] Adhesives,[13] Sealants,[14] Elastomers. The use of the diluent does effect mechanical properties and microstructure of epoxy resins.[15][16] It produces epoxy coatings with high impact resistance[17] Polymer systems with shape memory may also be produced with this particular molecule.[18] Fluoropolymers have also been produced with the material via a photoinitiated mechanism.[19] Production of biocompatible materials is also possible.[20]
