What is Polyether Polyol

 Polyether polyol is prepared by ring-opening polymerization of epoxide monomers (such as ethylene oxide, propylene oxide and 1,2-epoxybutane) and a compound containing two or more active hydrogen atoms (called an initiator). In the presence of alkali catalyst, active hydrogen compounds initiate ring opening and oxide addition will continue until the required molecular weight is obtained. The number of hydroxyl groups in polyether polyol is determined by the number of unstable hydrogen atoms in the initiator. If the initiator has two active hydrogen, glycol will be formed. The reactivity of polyether polyol to isocyanates depends on the initiator and the type of epoxy monomer that ends the ring-opening polymerization. The primary hydroxyl produced by polyol capped with ethylene oxide is more reactive than the secondary hydroxyl produced by propylene oxide, which is ideal for applications requiring rapid curing time. However, the use of initiator based on ethylene oxide and amine can also make the coating more hydrophilic and damage the barrier performance of the coating (such as waterproof membrane), so a good balance between reactivity and hydrophobicity is necessary.

 

The VOC limitation faced by epoxy coatings increases the use of epoxidized diols and Polyol (also known as reactive diluents) to reduce the use of solvents in epoxy formulations. However, due to the low reactivity or the epoxy ring near the aliphatic chain, the curing time of epoxy coating containing a large amount of reactive diluents can be greatly prolonged. Moreover, reactive diluents increase the cost of epoxy coating formulation. Therefore, due to their low viscosity and high reactivity, polyether polyol makes polyurethane coatings become the substitute of 100% solid epoxy system used in the application of anticorrosive coatings.

Difference Between Sodium Laureth Sulfate And Sodium Lauryl Sulfate

Sodium laureth ether sulfate  (SLS) and sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES) are surfactants that play a role in foaming products. It is widely believed that the foam produced by a product is its performance. The composition of SLS and SLES reduces the surface tension of water. They can also be used as dispersants to properly mix spices and body spray. SLS and SLES can also be used in a variety of personal care products such as soap, shampoo, shower gel, toothpaste and other foaming products. SLS and SLES are also added to moisturizing lotions and sunscreens because of these properties. The difference between SLS and SLES is in the manufacturing process. SLS undergo a process called ethoxylation. And then you get SLES. Why do we have this ethoxylation process? Because SLS has some mild irritation on the skin, such as dry. The manufactured SLES are more gentle and do not irritate the skin. Many manufacturers do not use SLS because it is irritating. SLES should be softer o...

Two Different Types of Anionic Surfactants

  Anionic surfactant is a kind of product with the longest history, the largest output and the most varieties among surfactants. According to the structure of hydrophilic groups, anionic surfactants can be divided into sulfonates and sulfates, which are the main categories of anionic surfactants.    The  anionic surfactants definition  is a must-known concept for many people working in the chemical industry. The various functions of surfactants are mainly manifested in changing the properties of the liquid surface, liquid-liquid interface and liquid-solid interface, of which the surface (interface) of the liquid is the most important.   Sulfate-type anionic surfactants mainly include fatty alcohol sulfate (also known as primary alkyl sulfate) and secondary alkyl sulfate ： 1.  Fatty alcohol sulfate (ester) salt (FAS or AS). The general formula of fatty alcohol sulfate is: ROS0-3M+, R is alkyl, M+ is sodium, potassium, ammonium, ethanolamine and other ca...
