1,1′-Isopropylidenebis(p-phenyleneoxy)dipropan-2-ol（Cat No.:M071172）, also known as bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE), is a chemical compound used primarily as a building block in the production of epoxy resins. Its molecular structure consists of two phenylene rings linked by an isopropylidene group, each bearing a hydroxyl group. BADGE undergoes a reaction with epichlorohydrin to form epoxy groups, enabling its polymerization with various hardeners to produce epoxy resins. These resins find widespread use in coatings, adhesives, composites, and electronic materials due to their excellent mechanical properties, chemical resistance, and adhesion characteristics.
