3. Applications and Functions
Polypropylene glycol is a polyether polyol with lubrication, softness, and compatibility properties. It is commonly used as a functional component in the following industries:
1. Polyurethane Industry: Can be used as one of the soft-segment polyols for making elastomers, foam materials, adhesives, sealants, and other polyurethane products.
2. Lubricants and Hydraulic Fluids: Used in some water-soluble lubricants, antifreeze, compressor oils, and heat transfer fluid formulations.
3. Daily Chemicals & Personal Care Products: Suitable for conditioners, shaving creams, shampoos, etc., as a softening regulator or solvent structural component.
4. Resin and Ink Systems: Can be part of hot melt adhesives, inks, coatings, etc., to adjust rheology and structural uniformity.
5. Metal Working Fluids: Used as an additive in some metalworking aids to adjust lubrication performance and low-temperature flow.
Note: Specific applications should match the product molecular weight, application process, and industry standards. Please refer to relevant technical documents before use.
4. Packaging Specifications
Packaging: 200kg plastic drums, IBC ton containers, tanker trucks, or can be repackaged into smaller sizes like 25kg as needed.
Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, and ventilated place with the container sealed, away from high temperatures, strong acids, and strong oxidizers.
Transportation: Transport according to non-hazardous material regulations. Take precautions against sunlight, leaks, and contamination.
