a compound with two or more hydroxyl functional groups
A key chemical in foam formulation which, when mixed with diiso-cyanates and other specific ingredients, produces the reaction that causes flexible polyurethane foam to form.
is an alternate expression for sugar alcohol. See sugar alcohols.
An organic compound having more than one hydroxyl (-OH) group per molecule. In the cellular plastics industry, the term includes monomeric and polymeric compounds containing alcoholic hydroxyl groups such as polyethers, glycols, glycerol, and polyesters, used as reactants in polyurethane foam.
A key chemical in foam which helps produce the reaction that causes flexible polyurethane foam to form
This is an organic molecule with three or more alcohol groups attached. The correct chemical term for an alcohol group is a hydroxy group with the combination of one oxygen attached to one hydrogen (OH).
Chemical substance containing one or more hydroxyl groups. Diol, triol and tetrol contain 2, 3 and 4 hydroxyl groups respectively. Polyols are reacted with isocyanates to make polyurethanes.
A chemical compound having more than one reactive hydroxyl group within the molecule. Polyol usually refers to a glycerine based product with three reactive hydroxyl groups.
Polymer or organic compound containing several -OH alcohol groups. Polyurethanes are manufactured using either polyether polyols or polyester polyols.
A substance containing several hydroxyl groups. A diol, triol and tetrol contain 2, 3 and 4 hydroxyl groups respectively.
The name polyols refers to chemical compounds containing multiple hydroxyl groups. In two technological disciplines polyols have special meaning: food science and polymer chemistry. For information as it pertains to food ingredients, please see the article on sugar alcohols.
