A significant component of our polyester product portfolio is our extensive line of polycaprolactone polyols. These high-performance polyester polyols offer lower viscosities (due to their narrow molecular weight distribution), better high temperature properties, lower glass-transition temperatures, hydrolytic stability and have very low acid values, compared to conventional glycol adipate polyols.

Intermediates for Polyurethane Industries

What are polyurethane intermediates?

Polyurethane intermediates are additives that are added to an existing polyurethane product by a third party or the end user. They can include curing accelerators or retardants that impact cure time. Some intermediates improve the strength or flexibility of the final product. Others will change the hardness or durability of the cured application, including resistance to abrasion, tearing, and wear.

Other intermediates may prevent shrinking, help with humidity, burn temperature, casting ability, improved hydrolytic stability, better mechanical properties, chemical resistance, and much more.

What are polyurethane intermediates used for?

Polyurethane intermediates provide a wide range of properties to a polyurethane mix, which may help to provide specific functionality or factors when it is put into use or merely to make the application or creation process easier and more efficient. In either situation, having a solid grasp of what the different polyurethane intermediates can do for your purposes can help you determine which ones will work best for your applications.
