Reactive diluents are low-viscosity organic compounds used to reduce the viscosity of resins while actively participating in the curing process through chemical reaction. Unlike non-reactive solvents, reactive diluents become an integral part of the polymer matrix, improving performance characteristics such as flexibility, adhesion, and chemical resistance. They are widely used in applications including coatings, adhesives, sealants, composites, and inks across industries such as construction, automotive, electronics, and marine.
