Polyether
Polyether Glycol PPG As A Polyurethane Foaming Agent
Polyether polyol (hereinafter referred to as polyether) is by the initial agent (groups of compounds containing active hydrogen) and ethylene oxide (EO) and propylene oxide (PO), epoxy butane (BO) in the presence of catalyst made by addition polymerization reaction. Polyether production so much for the glycerin (glycerin) as starting agent and epoxide (usually with EO and PO), by changing the PO and EO loading way (plus or separately and mixed), add more than, charging sequence and other conditions, produce all kinds of general polyether polyols.
POLYMER POLYOL POP-2013 is designed for the production of conventional flexible slabstock foams with enhanced load-bearing properties and tenacity.
This product has good flowability and low viscosity in spite of solid content and provides a broad processing range and allows the use of most commercially available silicone surfactant and catalysts.The solid content of this product is 13%.
Polyether, any of a class of organic substances prepared by joining together or polymerizing many molecules of simpler compounds
(monomers) by establishing ether links between them; polyethers, which may be either chainlike or networklike in molecular
structure, comprise an unusually diverse group of polymers.
