Product Overview
Glycidol is a bifunctional fine chemical containing both epoxy and hydroxyl groups. It is a colorless, nearly odorless transparent liquid with strong hygroscopicity and high reactivity. Widely used in epoxy resin dilution, polymer modification, pharmaceutical intermediates and organic synthesis. Manufactured via allyl alcohol oxidation and vacuum distillation, it features high purity and stable quality. For legitimate industrial production and scientific research only.
Product Features
- High Purity: ≥96.0% (GC), meets industrial and synthesis grade standards.
- Dual Reactivity: Contains epoxy and hydroxyl groups, enabling diverse chemical reactions.
- Excellent Solubility: Miscible with water and most organic solvents, easy to formulate.
- Strong Hygroscopicity: Absorbs moisture easily; requires sealed storage.
- Strict Quality Control: Full batch inspection; COA and MSDS available upon request.
