(1-Hexadecyl)Pyridinium Chloride Monohydrate 98%

Application
Glycidol has been used in the synthesis of hyperbranched polyglycerol (hPG) via ring opening reaction. These hPGs are being considered as alternatives to PEGs for developing antifouling surfaces due to their thermal and oxidative stability.It can also be used in the synthesis of ethoxy ethyl glycidyl ether.Glycidol may also be used in the preparation of chelating polymers for borate removal.

Purpose
For R&D use onlynot for drug household or other uses.

General Description
Glycidol is an organic compound that contains both epoxide and alcohol functional groups. Being bifunctional it has a variety of industrial uses. The compound is a slightly viscous liquid that is slightly unstable and is not often encountered in pure form.
