Polyether polyols are a type of polyols containing an ether chain with two or more hydroxyl groups attached to terminal groups. Polyether polyols with higher molecular weight can range from 2,000 to 10,000 and are used for the production of more rigid products. They are manufactured through catalytic addition reaction between epoxides or cyclic ethers. Generally, ethene oxides, butane oxides, and propene oxides are used for the manufacturing of polyether polyols. Moreover, initiators such as sucrose, water, amines, and glycols are used in the manufacturing of polyether polyols. Furthermore, the physical properties of polyether polyols decide the length of the polymer chain. Polyether polyols are used for manufacturing of polyurethane foams. It finds applications in furniture, bedding, car interiors, seats, and carpet inlays.
