Dicyclopentadiene diepoxide acts as an intermediate for epoxy resins, plasticizers and protective coatings. It finds application as a rubber additive and adhesives, which is used at high temperature. Further, it is used in the preparation of endo-3-hydroxy-exo-9-oxa-exo-tetracyclo[5.3.1.02,6.08,10]undecane using lithium aluminum hydride as a reagent.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
