METHODS OF MANUFACTURE OF ETHYLENE OXIDE CYCLIZED POLYOLES

摘要

An ethylene oxide-capped polyol is prepared by providing a polyol, which is produced in the presence of a double metal cyanide (DMC) catalyst; adding a basic catalyst to the DMC-catalyzed polyol to produce a mixture comprising less than 0.05 wt.%, based on the total weight of the mixture, of the basic catalyst; and ethoxylating the mixture at 130-220[deg]C to produce an ethylene oxide-capped polyol.
