Usage

Uses

Used in Coatings Industry:
Bisphenol F Diglycidyl Ether is used as a precursor for epoxy resins, which are essential in the manufacturing of coatings for various applications, including food cans. The epoxy resins provide excellent adhesion, chemical resistance, and mechanical properties, making them suitable for use in the coatings industry.
Used in Plastics and Composites Industry:
BFDGE is also utilized as an additive in organosol resins, which are used in the production of plastics and composite materials. These materials are valued for their high strength, durability, and resistance to various environmental factors, making them ideal for a wide range of applications in the plastics and composites industry.
Used in Food Packaging Industry:
Bisphenol F Diglycidyl Ether is used as a material for the interior coating of food cans, providing a protective barrier between the food and the metal container. This application is essential for maintaining the quality and safety of the food products, as BFDGE has been found to be a toxic contaminant with strict limitations on the amount allowed in food products.

Contact allergens

Epoxy resins based on Bisphenol F, also called phenolic Novolac, contain bisphenol F diglycidyl ether, which has three sensitizing isomers. DGEBF has a greater resistance than DGEBA. Contact allergy to bisphenol-F-based epoxy resins is rarer than that due to bisphenol-A-based resins and is frequently acquired with flooring materials and putty.

Well-Defined Networks from DGEBF - The Importance of Regioisomerism in Epoxy Resin Networks

The previously ignored or unreported impact of regiosomerism within diglycidyl ether of bisphenol F (DGEBF) on its network properties is presented. Routes to the isomers of DGEBF were explored: high-performance liquid chromatography showed good separation of the three isomers [para-para-DGEBF (ppDGEBF), para-ortho-DGEBF (poDGEBF), and ortho-ortho-DGEBF (ooDGEBF)] with small yields; column chromatography gave good separation of pp- + po- from oo-DGEBF but pp-/po- separation was not achieved. Synthesis was optimized to crude yields of 76% for pp-; 87% for po-, and 86% for oo-. Subsequently, crosslinked networks were prepared with meta-xylylenediamine. With increasing ortho content, degradation of chemical resistance and an inherent weakening of the network was observed, that is, glass transition temperature (Tg), beta transition temperature (Tβ), density, crosslink density, and the desorption diffusion coefficient decreased, whereas sorption diffusion coefficient and ultimate solvent uptake increased. This clearly shows that a subtle chemical structure change can significantly impact network performance.

METHOD OF PRODUCING EPOXY COMPOUNDS

Provided is a method of efficiently producing an epoxy compound from an allyl ether having an aromatic ring under mild conditions by using hydrogen peroxide as an oxidizing agent without using an organic solvent. The method of producing an epoxy compound comprises reacting an allyl ether having an aromatic ring with hydrogen peroxide to epoxidize a carbon-carbon double bond of an allyl group to thereby produce a corresponding epoxy compound having an aromatic ring, wherein water only is used as a solvent without using an organic solvent, and a tungsten compound, and a tertiary amine and/or a quaternary ammonium salt, are used as a reaction catalyst.
