Primary Applications of Epichlorohydrin (ECH)

Epichlorohydrin's unique epoxide and chloromethyl functionalities make it an exceptionally versatile chemical intermediate with diverse applications:

1. Epoxy Resin Production:

   The vast majority of Epichlorohydrin produced globally is used in the synthesis of epoxy resins. These resins, when cured with appropriate hardeners, form strong, durable, and chemically resistant materials used in adhesives, coatings, electrical insulators, and composite materials.

2. Elastomer Production:

   ECH is a key monomer in the production of various synthetic elastomers or rubbers, such as polychlorohydrins, which exhibit excellent resistance to oils, chemicals, and weathering.

3. Water Treatment Chemicals:

   Epichlorohydrin is used to synthesize polyamine-based flocculants and coagulants that are crucial in water purification processes for removing suspended solids and impurities.

4. Paper Industry:

   ECH derivatives find use in the paper industry to improve wet strength and as retention aids during the papermaking process.

5. Specialty Chemical Synthesis:

   ECH serves as a versatile building block for the synthesis of a wide range of other specialty chemicals, including surfactants, pharmaceuticals, dyes, and plasticizers.
