Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of polyurethane, more particularly, to a novel cyclic diol and its preparation method and application. BACKGROUND

[0002] Polyurethane is a material with excellent performance and rich functions, which has a wide range of raw material sources, excellent chemical stability, diverse structural design, good plasticity and other characteristics. After decades of development, it has been widely used in various fields and has become one of the indispensable materials in modern industry and daily life.

[0003] However, the performance of polyurethane is heavily dependent on the molecular structure, especially the molecular structure of the chain extender. The chain extender has a great influence on the mechanical properties, thermal properties, chemical resistance and processing properties of the material. Most of the alcohol chain extenders used at present are chain structures, such as ethylene glycol, 1,4-butanediol, neopentyl glycol, etc. They have high reactivity, good processing performance and low cost, but have the disadvantages of low elongation at break, poor impact resistance and too fast reaction speed. Common cyclic diol chain extenders include cyclohexanediol, bisphenol A derivatives and isosorbide, etc. The polyurethane prepared therefrom has the disadvantages of poor flexibility, high glass transition temperature and poor reactivity. Therefore, introducing a diol chain extender with both chain and cyclic structures into the polyurethane structure can help improve the overall performance of the polyurethane material.

[0004] Cyclohexanone is an important organic chemical raw material, and in recent years its development in the chemical industry has shown the characteristics of capacity expansion and diversified applications. Secondly, cyclohexanone is mainly used in the production of solvents, coatings, inks, caprolactam and adipic acid. Its application field is relatively narrow, and it is necessary to expand the downstream emerging demand to solve the problem of overcapacity.

[0005] Cyclohexanedimethanol is a compound with excellent structure and has potential in the field of polyurethane. The commonly used cyclohexanedimethanol is 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, while 1,3-cyclohexanedimethanol has application limitations due to the harsh reaction conditions required for its preparation, such as high temperature and high pressure or esterification reduction, and low yield. At present, the preparation conditions need to be optimized to improve the yield of 1,3-cyclohexanedimethanol and reduce the cost. SUMMARY

[0006] The present application aims to overcome the above-mentioned defects in the prior art and provide a novel cyclic diol and its preparation method and application.
