Polypropylene Glycol 2000 (PPG 2000)

Description

What is Polypropylene Glycol 2000?

Polypropylene Glycol 2000 (PPG 2000) is a high-quality polyether polyol derived from the polymerization of propylene oxide. With a molecular weight of approximately 2000, PPG 2000 is a versatile chemical intermediate widely used across multiple industries. Its reactive hydroxyl groups make it suitable for manufacturing polyurethanes, adhesives, coatings, lubricants, and elastomers.

PPG 2000 is valued for its excellent solubility, thermal stability, and low toxicity, making it a safer and more efficient alternative for many industrial and specialty applications.
