How is PTMEG Used

Polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMEG) is a waxy white solid that melts to a colorless, clear, viscous liquid near room temperature.

PTMEG is produced by the catalytic polymerization of tetrahydrofuran (THF). The main applications of PTMEG are the production of spandex (polyurethane) fibers, polyurethane elastomers, and copolyester-ether elastomers.

1.4-Butanediol

1.4-Butanediol (chemical formula: HOCH2CH2CH2CH2OH) is one of the isomers of butanediol, a terminal dihydroxy substituent of butane, which is a colorless, viscous liquid at room temperature. Industrially, BDO is produced by allowing acetylene to react with two molecules of formaldehyde to form BDO, which is then hydrogenated. BDO can also be obtained by gas-phase hydrogenation of anhydrides.

Tetrahydrofuran (THF) is a colorless, volatile liquid with the odor of ether or acetone and is miscible with water and most organic solvents. THF is highly flammable and may thermally decompose into carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
