The invention belongs to the technical field of polyether
polyol synthesis and specifically relates to a preparation method of low-molecular-weight polyether
polyol for polyetheramine. According to the preparation method, 2-methyl-1,3-
propylene glycol, which is used as a starting agent, reacts with
epoxide in the presence of an
alkali metal catalyst at low temperature; and then, the
reaction product is end-capped with epoxypropane at high temperature so as to obtain low-molecular-weight polyether
polyol for polyetheramine. During the
polymerization, 2-methyl-1,3-
propylene glycol is used as the starting agent. Due to
structural regularity and symmetry of 2-methyl-1,3-
propylene glycol, activities at two ends are identical. During
polymerization between 2-methyl-1,3-propylene glycol and the
epoxide, polyether structure is more regular. During amino-capping, activities at two ends are consistent. The product has characteristics of
amorphism, strong weatherability, tension resistance, strong bending resistance and the like. By the structure, polyetheramine can be endowed with characteristics of
low melting point, low
viscosity and good intersolubility with auxiliaries.
