APPLICATIONS
Diluent is an organic liquid added to resin formulations, , with no solvent power, to reduce viscosity and to ease flow movement or to improve the consistency and applicability. Typical applications would be for the manufacture of paints, lacquer, varnishes, adhesives, and coatings. Thinner's function is to make the application simple only and must evaporate after application. The term of diluent is also used in solvent system as an inert substance added to some other substance or solution so that the concentration volume is decreased.

2-Ethylhexyl Glycidyl Ether, monofunctional glycidyl ether of 2-ethyhexyl alcohol; containing epoxide group ( three-membered cyclic ethers that are also known as oxiranes or alkylene oxides). It is used as a general purpose diluent to reduce viscosity of epoxy resins, favoring improved filler loading and substrate wetting and resulting in faster curing time. End applications include coating, adhesive, casting, laminating, encapsulation or foam. It is also used as a stabilizer for chlorinated vinyl resins and rubber. It is used as a chemical intermediate to make other compounds.
