Analysis on polyols

A polyol , polyalcohol, or "glycol" is an organic or polymeric compound characterized by a number of hydroxyl (-OH) groups.
These compounds are widely used in the manufacture of polymers, as food additives , they are also widely used in industry for the production of polyurethane foams.

The Polymex laboratory offers you to analyze your polyols , whether for the quantification of compounds, the analysis of residual monomers or any other request!

Polyol

Some examples of polyols:

  • Organic polyols

  • Polymeric polyols

- Polyether polyols: PEG [25322-68-3]; PPG[25322-69-4]; PEG/PPG [9003-11-6]; PTMEG or pTHF [25190-06-1]; Glycerol ethoxylate [31694-55-0]; Glycerol propoxylate [25791-96-2]; Glycerol propoxylate/ethoxylate [9082-00-2]…
=> They are made from ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide and their molar masses can range from 100 to 7000 g/mol.

- Aliphatic Polyester polyols: Polyethylene glycol adipate [68647-16-5]; Polyneopentyl glycol adipate [27925-07-1]…
=> Usually made from Adipic acid or phthalic acid and an organic polyol.


- Polycaprolactone polyols: Caprolactone, neopentyl glycol polymer [31831-53-5]…
=> Ring-opening polymerization between ɛ-Caprolactone and an organic polyol.

- Hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene: HTPB [69102-90-5]…
=> Free radical polymerization of Butadiene with an alcohol.

- SAN copolymer polyols: PPG/SAN copolymer
=> Made by grafting Styrene and/or Acrylonitrile onto an organic polyol.

- Acrylic Polyols: Joncryl® 50Polymeric Polyols0 [110-43-0]
=> Copolymerization of different acrylic monomers ( Ethyl acrylate, Butyl acrylate, Acrylic acid, Methyl methacrylate, Styrene, etc.) , some of which include a hydroxyl function on the chain ( 2-Hydroxyethyl acrylate, 4-Hydroxybutyl acrylate, etc. ).

- Polyamine polyols: JEFFAMINE® D-230 [9046-10-0]…
=> Reductive amination reaction on polyol polyethers.
