Usage

Description

[1(R),3(R),5(S)]-(±)-1,3,5-Tris(oxiranylmethyl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-trione, commonly known as Triglycidyl Isocyanurate (TGIC), is a white, crystalline solid that is insoluble in water and has a high melting point. It is an isocyanurate, a cyclic triazine derivative containing three epoxide groups, and is primarily used as a cross-linking agent in the production of powder coatings.

Uses

Used in Powder Coating Industry:
TGIC is used as a cross-linking agent for the production of powder coatings, providing metal articles such as aluminum extrusions and automotive parts with high levels of durability and resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and weathering.
Used in Flame Retardant Industry:
TGIC is utilized as a flame retardant, enhancing the fire resistance properties of various materials.
Used in Adhesive and Sealant Production:
TGIC is also employed in the production of adhesives and sealants, contributing to their bonding strength and durability.
