Epichlorohydrin is a highly reactive, colorless liquid with a sharp odor. It is primarily used as a key intermediate in the production of epoxy resins, which are essential for coatings, adhesives, composites, and electrical laminates. Its dual functionality, both epoxide and organochlorine, makes it an ideal starting material for polymer chemistry.
Beyond epoxy resins, Epichlorohydrin is used in the manufacture of elastomers, water treatment chemicals, and wet-strength resins for paper products. It is valued for enabling strong chemical resistance, mechanical durability, and thermal stability in end-use applications.
