PA Polyester Polyol from Phthalic Anhydride
and Diethylene Glycol for Polyurethane Manufacture

Production of Typical Product Properties Applications of PA Polyester Polyol


Aromatic Polyester Polyol Acid value 2-3 ■ Polymerization with isocyanates to
■ Esterification of phthalic anhydride Hydroxyl value 300 - 330 polyurethanes
with diethylene glycol Water content less than 0.1% ■ Production of rigid, flexible, foam
1,4 dioxane content less than 1,000ppm and non-foam polyurethane qualities
Process Steps
■ 2-stage esterification of phthalic Typical Consumption Data Applications of Polyurethanes
anhydride with diethylene glycol per metric ton of PA Polyol ■ Rigid foams for thermal insulation,
■ Dioxane stripping Phthalic anhydride 440 kg construction and packaging
■ Recovery of surplus diethylene glycol Diethylene glycol 625 kg ■ Ricid material for molding car and
■ Optional: separation and purification Electrical energy cooler panels
of dioxane Steam (6 bar) ■ Also suitable for: high temperature-
Cooling water resistant foams for special industrial
Mode of Operation insulation
■ Continuous or batchwise Features of the Process ■ Fexible foams for cushioning,
■ PA Polyol product has a decisive cost packaging and others
Raw Materials advantage over polyether polyol
■ Phthalic anhydride from propylene oxide or polyester
■ Diethylene glycol polyol from adipic acid
■ Catalyst ■ Crude phthalic anhydride can
■ Additives (compatibilizers) be used
■ Heads cut and residue from PA
distillation can be used
