Polytetramethylene Ether Glycol

Brief Overview

Polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMG) is hygroscopic polymer made up of liner diols with a backbone of repeating tetramethylene units which are connected by ether linkages, are produced by polymerizing tetrahydrofuran (THF). PTMG is a waxy, white solid that melts to a clear, colorless, viscous liquid near room temperature.
 

PTMG shows the following outstanding characteristics as a soft segment of polyurethane and polyester resins. The resins obtained are used over a broad range of applications, from common consumer goods such as garments, to the industrial materials such as machine parts.
