POLYETHER, ACTIVE-HYDROGEN INGREDIENT, RESIN-FORMING COMPOSITION, AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING FOAM

摘要

A polyether compound; an active-hydrogen ingredient and resin-forming composition comprising or containing the polyol; and a process for producing a foam using the active-hydrogen ingredient. The polyether compound has sufficient reactivity while retaining hydrophobicity due to the small number of moles of EO added. When used as a polyol ingredient for a resin, the polyether compound hence has a high reaction rate and can give a resin excellent in material properties (tensile strength, flexural strength, degree of swelling in water, etc.).
