Epoxy monomer. (Materials).


DGER (diglycidyl ether of ethoxylated resorcinol resorcinol /re·sor·ci·nol/ (re-zor´si-nol) a bactericidal, fungicidal, keratolytic, exfoliative, and antipruritic agent, used especially as a topical keratolytic in the treatment of acne and other dermatoses. ) is a resorcinol based epoxy monomer monomer (mŏn`əmər): see polymer.
monomer

Molecule of any of a class of mostly organic compounds that can react with other molecules of the same or other compounds to form very large molecules (polymers).
 for use in high-performance applications such as coatings, adhesives and matrix resins for advanced composites. DGER is said to offer a balance of good flexibility, low viscosity and high curability cur·a·ble  
adj.
Being such that curing or healing is possible: curable diseases.

 with various epoxy-curing agents. The molecular flexibility of DGER is expected to improve the impact strength and fracture toughness In materials science, fracture toughness is a property which describes the ability of a material containing a crack to resist fracture, and is one of the most important properties of any material for virtually all design applications.  of the cured epoxy systems. DGER may be used as is, or reacted with other compounds such as acrylic acids. DGER is non-toxic. (Indspec Chemical, 411 Seventh Ave., Suite 300, Pittsburgh, PA 15219)
