Polyols are important components in the production of polyurethanes, used in many applications from the automotive to the furniture industry. They are chemical compounds with several functional groups that serve as reactants with isocyanates and thus contribute to the cross-linking of the polymer structure. Polyols can be made from various raw materials and are produced in different forms and properties depending on the area of ​​application, such as rigid or flexible foams, adhesives, coatings or elastomers. The properties of polyols can be specifically changed through the choice of raw materials, the process parameters and the chemical composition in order to meet specific requirements.
