Polyether Polyols Market - Global Industry Analysis, Trends and Forecast 2014 – 2020

Polyether polyols is a type of polyols which contains ether chain and has two or more hydroxyl group attached to the terminal groups. Polyether polyols are manufactured through catalytic addition reaction of cyclic ethers or epoxides. Cyclic ethers such as ethene oxides, propene oxides and butene oxides are preferred in the manufacturing of polyether polyols. The initiators used in manufacturing process of polyester polyols include amines, glycols, sucrose, water and polyols. Polyether polyols are water soluble polymers with wide range of compositions. With the help of proper initiator and cyclic ether, number of low to high molecular weight polyglycols and resins can be manufactured.
