Epichlorohydrin CAS#106-89-8
Products Description of Epichlorohydrin CAS#106-89-8Epichlorohydrin is an intermediate for glycerol synthesis and a key raw material for epoxy resins, nitroglycerin explosives, fiberglass, and electrical insulation products. It is also used in cellulose ester and resin blends, and as a feedstock for surfactants, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, coatings, adhesives, ion exchange resins, plasticizers, glycerol and glycidyl derivatives, and chlorohydrin rubber.Epoxy resins from epichlorohydrin and bisphenol A feature strong adhesion, low shrinkage, corrosion resistance, and good stability, and are widely used as coatings, adhesives, reinforcements, and casting materials.Chlorohydrin rubber, made from epichlorohydrin, resists swelling in common oils and solvents, stays flexible at low temperatures without plasticizers, and outperforms nitrile, chloroprene, and butyl rubbers in certain properties.

Product Application of Epichlorohydrin (CAS No. 106-89-8)
1. Product Categories
Epichlorohydrin belongs to a broad range of chemical categories, including ternary heterocyclic compounds, epoxides, pesticide intermediates, rodenticide intermediates, organic raw materials, analytical standards, alkanes, organic intermediates, and organic solvents.
2. Application Scenarios
Epichlorohydrin is primarily consumed as a key feedstock in the production of epoxy resins, glycerol, chlorohydrin rubber, surfactants, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, coatings, adhesives, ion exchange resins, plasticizers, and various glycerol and glycidyl derivatives. As a reactive epoxide, it also serves as an analytical standard and organic intermediate in laboratory and industrial synthesis, and is used as an organic solvent in certain processes.
3. Technical Conditions & Standards
The product is supplied as a colorless transparent liquid, with specific purity, water content, and impurity limits (such as chlorohydrin and heavy metals) subject to the applicable grade and batch Certificate of Analysis. Exact specifications should be confirmed against the COA of each batch.
4. Production & Quality Control
Factory and Equipment Show — our epichlorohydrin is produced in our own facility; please refer to the factory and equipment photos on this page. Every batch is tracked from raw material to release, with full documentation (COA, MSDS/SDS, packing list and invoice) provided with each shipment, following a quality control flow of incoming inspection, in-process monitoring, finished-batch analysis, release check and retained sample.
5. Packaging & Shipping
