Polycarbonate Polyol
Polycarbonate polyol refers to a type of polymer that contains repeating carbonate groups (—O—COO—) in the main chain of the molecule and the end of the chain is hydroxyl (—OH). The most common is polycarbonate diol. Polycarbonate diol (PCD) is a kind of polyol chemical materials, with two ends -OH functional group molecular, and molecular weight ranges from hundreds to thousands. Its molecular chain contains aliphatic alkyl and carbonate repeat unit, chemical property resembles aliphatic polyester and polyether polyol rather than general polycarbonate materials. Polycarbonate diol usually used for the synthesis of urethane resin, acrylic resin, polyester resin and other materials.
