Application

1. Key petrochemical raw materials

2. Used in the production of surfactants, foaming agents, demulsifiers, mineral processing reagents, etc., such as polyethers, propylene glycol, and dimethyl carbonate. Among these, polyether polyols serve as key raw materials for producing polyurethane foams, insulation materials, elastomers, adhesives, and coatings. Various nonionic surfactants find extensive applications across petroleum, chemical, pesticide, textile, and daily chemical industries.

3. Propylene oxide is also a vital basic chemical raw material.
