    PA Polyol From Phthalic Anhydride and Diethylene Glycol For Polyurethane

    Uploaded by

    A Mahmood
    The document describes the production of PA polyol from phthalic anhydride and diethylene glycol for use in polyurethane manufacture. The process involves a two-stage esterification of phthalic anhydride and diethylene glycol to form the aromatic polyester polyol. Typical properties of the PA polyol product include an acid value of 2-3, hydroxyl value of 300-330, and water content less than 0.1%. The PA polyol has advantages over other polyols and can be used to produce various rigid, flexible, foam and non-foam polyurethane qualities which find applications such as insulation, moldings, and cushions.

    The document discusses the production process of PA Polyol from phthalic anhydride and diethylene glycol for use in polyurethanes. It involves a two-stage esterification process, recovery of surplus materials, and can use crude phthalic anhydride as a starting material. PA Polyol and the resulting polyurethanes have applications in insulation, construction materials, packaging and more.

    The main steps are a 2-stage esterification of phthalic anhydride with diethylene glycol, dioxane stripping, and recovery of surplus diethylene glycol. It can be run continuously or batchwise.

    Typical properties of PA Polyol include an acid value of 2-3, hydroxyl value of 300-330, and water content less than 0.1%. Consumption data provided is 440kg of phthalic anhydride and 625kg of diethylene glycol per metric ton of PA Polyol. Electrical energy and steam are also used.
