Reactive Diluent (CAS NO : 68609-97-2)

Reactive Diluent portfolio focuses on the controllability of epoxy systems, allowing formulators to dial in specific viscosities without the use of non-reactive solvents that compromise film integrity. By utilising a variety of chemical backbones ranging from C12-C14 aliphatic chains for maximum thinning to o-Cresol and Phenol-based aromatic structures for chemical resistance, our diluents ensure that the "Total Cost of Quality" is optimised through improved processing efficiency and coating longevity. Whether you require the flexibility and impact resistance of PPG-modified diluents or the extreme chemical stability of aromatic ethers, our range provides the molecular precision needed for high-performance industrial infrastructure. Our high-performance Reactive Diluents are precision-engineered to provide the critical reconfigurability required for modern epoxy systems. We are an established Reactive Diluents supplier, ensuring a consistent purity profile and locked EEW (Epoxy Equivalent Weight) ranges across our Drodi and Drodile series. We provide a broad range of mono-functional and di-functional glycidyl ethers with comprehensive analytical (Viscosity/EEW/colour) and supporting quality assurance documentation (Reactive Diluent COA/TDS/SDS), detailed compatibility mapping with base resins, and global regulatory support (REACH). We ensure reliable lead times from R&D sampling to 10MT+ commercial-scale supply, enabling partners to optimise their "Total Cost of Quality" in epoxy-based manufacturing.

Have Questions About Reactive Diluent?
We've Got Answers.

Thinning with non-reactive solvents leads to film porosity and environmental hazards. Our Reactive Diluents offer scientific tunability; by adjusting the inclusion rate, you can reach the target application viscosity while maintaining a 100% solids system. This prevents coating shrinkage and long-term failure, directly reducing the cost of warranty claims and substrate maintenance.

For environments exposed to acidic cleaners, Drodile 1220 (o-Cresol based) is the preferred choice. Its aromatic structure provides superior resistance to acids and solvents compared to aliphatic alternatives. We provide detailed Chemical Resistance Data to scientists to ensure the formulation meets the aggressive washdown requirements of industrial facilities.

Epoxy resins can be inherently brittle. The polypropylene glycol (PPG) backbone of Drodile 1240 introduces a flexible polyether chain into the cured matrix. This increases the impact resistance and elongation at break. Sourcing Managers value this for structural bonding applications where vibration and mechanical stress are high.

We connect the gap between technical production and global regulatory safety. Every shipment includes a batch-specific Reactive Diluent COA/TDS and a GHS-compliant SDS. Our diluents are REACH registered, ensuring that procurement teams can move goods across borders without customs delays or non-compliance risks.
