MEG (mono-ethylene glycol)
A glycol used with PTA to make polyester, and as the base of antifreeze and coolants.
- Typical uses
- PET resin, polyester fibre and yarn, antifreeze and coolants
- Selected by
- Fibre grade or industrial grade, purity and UV transmittance, ISO tank, drum or flexitank

A white powder that reacts with MEG to make polyester.
- Typical uses
- PET resin, polyester fibre, yarn and film
- Selected by
- Purity (4-CBA content), particle size, big-bag packing
Request a quote for thisPolyols
Polyether and polyester polyols that react with MDI or TDI to make polyurethane.
- Typical uses
- Flexible foam and mattresses, rigid insulation and sandwich panels, coatings, adhesives, sealants, elastomers
- Selected by
- Application (flexible, rigid or CASE), OH value, functionality, viscosity
Request a quote for thisMDI / TDI
