Abstract: A process for producing bis-anhydrohexitol ether compositions and in particular isohexide glycidyl ether compositions, one of the originalities of which is azeotropic distillation carried out under reduced pressure. Such compositions are used to produce epoxy resins, the function thereof being to form a three-dimensional macromolecular network. The compositions obtained according to the process are rich in diepoxy derivatives of isosorbide to the detriment of monoepoxy derivatives, only the first participating in the formation of the three-dimensional network. The crosslinking density is therefore increased, thereby making it possible to obtain a material which is more chemically resistant and mechanically stronger and which has a higher glass transition temperature (Tg), compared with the same materials obtained with bis-anhydrohexitol ether compositions according to the prior art.
