Erisys GE-5 n-Butyl glycidyl ether 2426-08-6 CVC Solvents >> Ethers & Ethers-alcohols Epoxy (EP) ADHESIVE ERISYS ® GE-5 n-Butyl Glycidyl Ether Aliphatic Monofunctional Epoxy Diluent ERISYS GE-5 is the monofunctional glycidyl ether of butyl alcohol. Of the CVC epoxy functional diluents, GE-5 is the most efficient in reducing the viscosity of epoxy resins. Lower formulation viscosity allows in-creased filler loading and/or improved substrate wet-ting. Compared to a non-diluted resin, the use of GE-5, (of the unfilled resin portion) in a room temperature cure formulation, produces faster gel times. A greater degree of cure, as evidenced by the percentage of ep-oxy groups consumed versus time, also occurs. Due to the monofunctionality of GE-5, some sacrifice in ele-vated temperature and chemical resistance may, how-ever, occur. Adhesives Flooring Potting and Encapsulation Laminating Tooling Monofunctional glycidyl ether of butyl alcohol. Used as a diluent for epoxy resins in adhesives. Reduces viscosity. Provides increased filler loading, improved substrate wetting, fast gel times and good degree of cure.
