This invention belongs to the field of polyether
polyol synthesis technology, specifically relating to a bio-based autocatalytic low-temperature stable polyether
polyol, its preparation method, and its applications. The polyether
polyol comprises the following
raw material components in parts by weight: 30-50 parts of a bio-based composite initiator, 40-60 parts of an
epoxide monomer, 2-5 parts of an autocatalytic modifier, 1-3 parts of a low-temperature stabilizer, and 0.5-1 parts of an
antioxidant. The bio-based content of the polyether polyol of this invention can reach 45-65%, resulting in a low
carbon footprint, low
odor level, and low
irritation. It exhibits no stratification or
turbidity after being placed at -20°C for 72 hours, and demonstrates excellent low-temperature fluidity, requiring no additional low-temperature additives. The accompanying preparation method employs a segmented dropwise one-step autocatalytic
polymerization process, with mild
reaction conditions, eliminating the need for
neutralization and washing steps, resulting in a short process flow, low production cost, and minimal waste emissions. It can be widely used in the preparation of low-temperature defoamers, low-temperature
polyurethane insulation foams, and
polyurethane materials for automotive interiors.
