Castor oil glycidyl ether
Castor oil glycidyl ether is a liquid organic chemical in the glycidyl ether family. It is sometimes called castor oil triglycidyl ether. It has the theoretical formula C66H116O12 and the CAS number 14228-73-0.[2] The IUPAC name is 2,3-bis[[(E)-12-(oxiran-2-ylmethoxy)octadec-9-enoyl]oxy]propyl (E)-12-(oxiran-2-ylmethoxy)octadec-9-enoate.[3] A key use is acting as a modifier for epoxy resins as a reactive diluent that adds flexibility and improved mechanical properties.[4]

Manufacture
It is made by glycidation of castor oil which is a vegetable oil. Castor oil and epichlorohydrin are reacted in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst to form halohydrin: each hydroxyl group of the triol reacts with an epoxide on epichlorohydrin. This process is followed neutralizing the catalyst with a small amount of sodium hydroxide and then adding a large excess of epichlorohydrin as solvent. To re-form the epoxide rings in a dehydrochlorination reaction, solid sodium hydroxide flake is used rather than a solution. On completion the epichlorohydrin is recovered and the product cleaned up.[5] One of the quality control tests would involve measuring the epoxy value by determination of the epoxy equivalent weight.
Uses
A 2018 study concluded that its use as a flexiblizing agent as well as an epoxy diluent has application in the aviation field.[6] Patent applications show it is also used as a co-reactant-surfactant in herbicide production.[7] As the molecule has 3 oxirane functionalities, a key use is modifying and reducing the viscosity of epoxy resins.[8][9] These reactive diluent modified epoxy resins may then be further formulated into CASE applications: coatings,[10] adhesives,[11] sealants,[12] elastomers. It is also used in composite production.[13] It produces epoxy coatings with high impact resistance.[14] Polymer systems with shape memory may also be produced with this particular molecule.[15] Production of biocompatible materials is also possible and the material is often classed as a renewable resource.[16][17] It has also found use in oil well petroleum recovery.[18]
