In epoxy resins, POLYSORB® isosorbide-based diglycidyl ether can provide a substitute to replace bisphenol A based diglycidyl ether (DGEBA).

In comparison with DGEBA, isosorbide-based diglycidyl ether offers an improved aspect due to lower carbonation, provides better resistance to UV and has the ability to solubilize in water. In a more general manner, isosorbide brings high adhesion and mechanical resistance to coatings.
