Products in Solvents: Polyols

Middle 1,2 - Butanediol (M1,2 - BG) is a versatile liquid glycol classified under the glycol chemical family. Serving as a solvent and monomer in various applications, it is a key component in the production of polyester resins, surfactants, plasticizers, and polyester polyols. Recognized for its hygroscopic features, this base chemical is available in packaging options such as drums and cans. Widely employed in industrial processes, it significantly contributes to resin manufacturing, especially in the development of high-quality inkjet inks for the printing and packaging markets.

Crude 1,2 - Butanediol (C1,2 - BG) is a liquid glycol belonging to the diols and polyols family. Functioning as a solvent and monomer, it plays a crucial role in the production of polyester resins, surfactants, plasticizers, and polyester polyols. Recognized for its hygroscopic properties. Widely applied in industrial settings, it contributes to resin manufacturing processes, particularly in the development of inkjet inks for the printing and packaging markets.

Chemnovatic Pharmaceutical Vegetable Glycerine is obtained from plant-based sources such as palm oil, coconuts, or soybeans. This product is used as a humectant, solvent, emollient, sweetener, bodying agent, preservative, and many other things in organic products. It dissolves in water and alcohol, consequently helping to mix products of various origins. This product has a wide range of applications in various industries, such as foods, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, e-liquids, and more. It is approved for contact with food.

K-FLEX® UD-350W is an aqueous solution of an aliphatic, low molecular weight urethane diol oligomer. It is recommended as a modifier for amino crosslinked water soluble and emulsified acrylic, alkyd, urethane and polyester resins. K-FLEX® UD-350W can be used as a reactive cosolvent replacement to increase solids, crosslink density, improve film/resistance properties and flow/leveling.

The ULTRAPEG® product line is made up of ethylene oxide polymers. It is represented by the following general formula: HO(CH2CH2O)nH According to the degree of ethoxylation(n), products with different molecular weights and melting points can be obtained, which allows the use of these products in various applications. The hydrophilicity of the polyoxyethylene chain from the ULTRAPEG® product line allows for the obtention of a hygroscopic polymer which is highly water soluble. By varying the molecular weight, liquid or solid products may be obtained, covering a wide range of viscosities and consistencies.
