application | polytetrahydrofuran, as an important chemical raw material, is mainly used to prepare spandex in the field of chemical fiber and in the field of non-fiber for the preparation of elastomers, adhesives, coatings, sealants and other fields. polyurethane products prepared by it are wear-resistant, chemical-resistant, and have good flexibility and resilience. At present, the top three applications of polytetrahydrofuran abroad are polyurethane elastic fiber (49%), polyurethane elastomer (36%) and ester ether copolymer elastomer (15%). |
Preparation | Using perchloric acid as a catalyst and anhydride as a capping agent, the polymerization reaction is carried out at a temperature lower than 25°C, and then sodium hydroxide solution is added to terminate the reaction, After distillation to remove unreacted tetrahydrofuran and water, the polymer is washed out of salt, and the polytetrahydrofuran ether glycol diester is obtained by distillation and dehydration, and then methanol is added for transesterification reaction, then add water to neutralize, evaporate excess methanol and methyl ester to obtain crude products, and finally dehydrate again to obtain pure polytetrahydrofuran. |
use | used in the production of TPU, CPU, PU resin, PU slurry, polyurethane elastomer, etc. PTMEG is one of the important raw materials for the production of spandex and polyamino acid elastomer. it is used as a soft segment in urethane and can provide polyurethane products with good hydrolysis resistance, low temperature resistance and dynamic properties. It can also be used as the main raw material for elastomer products, synthetic leather resins, and elastic fibers (spandex). |
