  • Polyol and a Process for the Preparation Thereof
    Publication number: 20240141093
    Abstract: A polyalkyleneoxy polyol (P) has an average nominal functionality in the range of 2 to 8; a hydroxy number in the range of 10 to 500 mg KOH/g measured according to ASTM method D4272; and a weight average molecular weight in the range of 500 to 25,000 measured using GPC with polystyrene standard and tetrahydrofuran as solvent. The polyol (P) contains ethyleneoxy in an amount in the range of 50 to 95 wt. %, based on the overall weight of the polyol (P).
