Key Features & Benefits
Discover the unique advantages of VUP's 1,2,7,8-Diepoxyoctane for your applications.
Bifunctional Reactivity
Two terminal epoxy groups enable efficient crosslinking and grafting into epoxy, urethane and acrylic systems for enhanced performance.
Low-Viscosity Reactive Diluent
Reduces viscosity of standard epoxy resins while remaining chemically bound after cure, unlike inert solvents, for lower VOC formulations.
Improved Flexibility & Toughness
Aliphatic backbone increases elongation and impact resistance of otherwise brittle epoxy networks for more durable coatings.
Good Substrate Wetting
Lower viscosity and polarity profile support better substrate wetting in coatings and adhesives for improved adhesion.
Pilot-Plant Availability from EU
Produced by VUP in Slovakia with short lead times, EU-origin supply, and REACH coverage for reliable sourcing.
Quality & Traceability
Manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 with batch-level documentation ensuring consistent quality and regulatory compliance.
