Uses

Tris(4-hydroxyphenyl)methane triglycidyl ether can be used as:

• A monomer in the synthesis of recyclable polyester thermosets applicable in a wide range of industries including aerospace, automotive and electrical and electronics:. THPMTGE-based thermosets demonstrated impressive mechanical properties, including a high Young′s modulus (1.3-1.4 GPa), tensile stress ranging from 55 to 69 MPa, and an elongation at break of 3%-8%.
• A monomer in the synthesis of multifunctional epoxy resins. THPMTGE’s structure allows for increased crosslinking density, which is crucial for improving mechanical strength and thermal stability.
• A trifunctional epoxy crosslinker, which facilitates the formation of a robust network within the Troger′s base polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs). THPMTGE-crosslinked Troger′s base PIMs can be applied in various industries, including: Water treatment, food and beverage industry, and pharmaceuticals.
• A multifunctional crosslinking agent in the UV-curable PSA formulation. Its trifunctional nature allows for enhanced crosslinking density, which is crucial for improving the mechanical strength and thermal stability of the adhesive layer. These UV-curable pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) used in the fabrication of thermally conductive films.
