CAS number

Please contact your local customer service centre for advice on any CARADOL polyether polyol CAS numbers or chemical formulae.

What are CARADOL polyether polyols?
CARADOL polyether polyols are derived from propylene oxide. They are organic materials with two or more alcohol end-groups (OH) and sometimes with micrometer polymer particles present in suspension. When polyether polyols and isocyanates are reacted together they form polyurethanes. 

CARADOL polyether polyols are available in a wide range of molecular weights and it is this variety which gives rise to a wide range of processing and application possibilities. 

How are CARADOL polyether polyols used?
CARADOL polyether polyols, when combined with isocyanates, are used in urethane applications, such as flexible foam, and in Coatings, Adhesives, Sealants & Elastomer (CASE) systems. As a result we may encounter them in a wide variety of goods including furniture, car seating, bedding, paints and coatings, artificial sports tracks, playground surfaces, ski suits and other waterproof leisure wear. 

CARADOL polyether polyols are also used in non-urethane applications such as surfactants and oil demulsifiers.
