Germany and the United States are the leading exporters of castor oil glycidyl ether (CAS 74398-71-3), accounting for the largest share of global shipments, while China, South Korea, and India represent the principal importers. Castor oil glycidyl ether prices have remained relatively stable amid steady demand from epoxy resin and specialty chemical manufacturing sectors. Exports from the EU—particularly Germany—have shown consistent growth over the past three years, while Asian imports have expanded modestly, reflecting ongoing industrial uptake in polymer modification applications.
Castor oil glycidyl ether is a pale yellow to amber, viscous liquid at room temperature, with low volatility and no sharply defined melting or boiling point due to its oligomeric nature. It is classified as a polyglycidyl ether and multifunctional epoxy-reactive intermediate derived from the epichlorohydrin modification of castor oil fatty acids. Primarily used as a reactive diluent and flexibilizer in epoxy resin systems, it reduces viscosity while maintaining epoxy functionality and enhancing toughness. Its main applications are in high-performance coatings, adhesives, composites, and electrical encapsulants where improved flexibility, hydrophobicity, and bio-based content are desired.
