  2. Polyol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyol

    Polyether polyols have numerous uses. [16] [17] As an example, polyurethane foam is a big user of polyether polyols.[18]Polyester polyols can be used to produce rigid foam. [19] [20] They are available in both aromatic and aliphatic versions.

  3. Propylene oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propylene_oxide

    Its major application is its use for the production of polyether polyols for use in making polyurethane plastics. It is a chiral epoxide, although it is commonly used as a racemic mixture. This compound is sometimes called 1,2-propylene oxide to distinguish it from its isomer 1,3-propylene oxide, better known as oxetane.

  4. Polypropylene glycol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polypropylene_glycol

    Chemically it is a polyether, and, more generally speaking, it's a polyalkylene glycol (PAG) H S Code 3907.2000. The term polypropylene glycol or PPG is reserved for polymer of low- to medium-range molar mass when the nature of the end-group , which is usually a hydroxyl group, still matters.

  5. Alkoxylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkoxylation

    PO is mainly used for alkoxylation to produce polyether polyols. The alkoxylation process is shown in simplified form: ROH + n OCH 2 CHCH 3 → R(OCH 2 CHCH 3) n OH. Polyols derived from PO have complex stereochemistry owing to the chirality of the propylene oxide.

  6. Polyetheramines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyetheramines

    They are produced by reacting either ethylene oxide or propylene oxide with polyols and then aminating them. There are a number of commercially available molecules with different CAS numbers and molecular weights. They often come with a prefix of M, D or T for monofunctional, difunctional and trifunctional respectively.

  7. IUPAC polymer nomenclature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IUPAC_polymer_nomenclature

    IUPAC Polymer Nomenclature are standardized naming conventions for polymers set by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) and described in their publication "Compendium of Polymer Terminology and Nomenclature", which is also known as the "Purple Book".

  8. Polyurethane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyurethane

    Graft polyols (also called filled polyols or polymer polyols) contain finely dispersed styrene–acrylonitrile, acrylonitrile, or polyurea (PHD) polymer solids chemically grafted to a high molecular weight polyether backbone. They are used to increase the load-bearing properties of low-density high-resiliency (HR) foam, as well as add toughness ...

  9. Polytetrahydrofuran - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polytetrahydrofuran

    The material is a mixture of polyether diols terminated with alcohol groups. It is produced by polymerization of tetrahydrofuran as well as 1,4-butanediol. The product is commercially available as polymers of low average molecular weights, between 250 and 3000 daltons. In this form it is a white waxy solid that melts between 20 and 30 °C.
