PolyTetraMethylene Ether Glycol (PTMEG)

TECHNOLOGY FOR THE PRODUCTION OF POLYTETRAMETHYLENE ETHER GLYCOL (PTMEG)

Polytetrahydrofuran, also called PolyTetraMethylene Ether Glycol (PTMEG), is the polymer of Tetrahydrofuran (THF), or it can be viewed as the polyether derived from 1,4-Butanediol (BDO).

PTMEG, commercially available as low average molecular weight grades - between 250 and 3000 daltons -, is mainly used as component of cast and thermoplastic polyurethanes, polyurethane stretch and elastic fibers (Spandex), and high-performance copolyester-polyether elastomers (COPE).

As proven by the extensive research and the excellent products of the plants in operation, CONSER has full experience in the PTMEG process field.

The technology for the production of PolyTetraMethylene Ether Glycol, available through CONSER, is characterized by the high flexibility of PTMEG high quality polymer grades, and can be well integrated with the upstream Maleic Anhydride and Tetrahydrofuran production processes.
