Dinamic HQEE

(CAS No.: 104-38-1)

1. Introduction:

HQEE is available in off-white flakes and Pellets form. It is hygroscopic in nature with a strong aromatic odour. It is also sensitive to light and turns yellow-brown in the presence of light.

HQEE is manufactured industrially by the ethoxylation of hydroquinone. HQEE is a symmetrical aromatic diol chain extender. It offers excellent performance with a wide range of such MDI-prepolymers and yields polyurethane elastomers that impart good tensile, elongation, hardness, modulus, and a great resistance to mechanical abrasion.
