**Semantic type:** Hazardous or Poisonous Substance

**Definition:** A synthetic, colorless liquid that is soluble in water. It is used as a reactive diluent for other epoxides and as a monomer in the production of epoxy resins for coatings and adhesives. Occupational exposure of humans to 4-vinyl-1-cyclohexene diepoxide results in skin irritation. It is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen. (NCI05)
