PTMEG(Polytetramethylene Ether Glycol) 2000
1. Description
PTMEG is a range of specialty high performance polyether diols
based on polytetramethylene ether glycol. PTMEG is available in
different
molecular weight ranges: PTMEG 250, PTMEG 650, PTMEG 1000, PTMEG
1400, PTMEG 1800, PTMEG 2000, and PTMEG 3000. However, the most
common grades of PTMEG used in the polyurethane formulations are
PTMEG 1000 and PTMEG 2000. PTMEG is suitable for use in producing
high performance thermoset and thermoplastic polyurethane
elastomers and is also often used in polyurethane adhesives.
PTMEG is supplied as a waxy white solid, which melts to form a
clear, colorless liquid over a wide temperature range near room
temperature.
