PTMG Polytetrahydrofuran

Polytetrahydrofuran (PolyTHF or PTMEG), with the chemical formula HO-[(CH2)4O]n-H, is an important polyether glycol. It appears as a white waxy solid or colorless viscous liquid, depending on its molecular weight. It exhibits excellent flexibility, hydrolysis resistance, and chemical stability. As a key raw material for producing polyurethane elastomers and Spandex fibers, it is widely used in textiles, automotive, medical, and other fields.
