Publication number: 20240124643Abstract: A method for producing a polyester polyol is provided, which includes: feeding a first antioxidant and a raw material reactant that includes a polyacid and a polyol into a reactor; subjecting the polyacid and the polyol to an esterification reaction to form an oligomer; and performing a prepolymerization reaction on the oligomer to obtain a prepolymerization reactant. During the prepolymerization reaction, the method includes sampling and monitoring an acid value of the prepolymerization reactant. When the acid value of the prepolymerization reactant reaches a first acid value, an esterification reaction catalyst is added to the prepolymerization reactant for carrying out a polycondensation reaction and generating a polycondensation reactant that contains the polyester polyol. During the polycondensation reaction, the method includes sampling and monitoring an acid value of the polycondensation reactant.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2022Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: TE-CHAO LIAO, HAN-CHING HSU, CHEN-WEI CHANG
