Polyether Polyol is a key raw material for the production of polyurethane (PU). It is synthesized by polymerizing propylene oxide (PO) and/or ethylene oxide (EO) with multifunctional initiators. The resulting polyols are viscous, transparent liquids that vary in molecular weight and functionality depending on the formulation.
Key Properties:
-
Hydroxyl number, molecular weight, and functionality can be tailored for different PU applications
-
Good compatibility with isocyanates (e.g., TDI, MDI)
-
Excellent mechanical strength, elasticity, and hydrolysis resistance in end products
Main Applications:
-
Flexible Foam: Mattresses, sofas, car seats, cushions
-
Rigid Foam: Insulation panels, refrigerators, construction materials
-
CASE (Coatings, Adhesives, Sealants, Elastomers): Industrial coatings, footwear, sealants, elastomeric products
-
Other Uses: Integral skin foams, spandex, specialty polymers
Advantages:
-
High versatility in polyurethane formulations
-
Enables production of both flexible and rigid materials
-
Enhances comfort, insulation, durability, and energy efficiency
