CARPOL® SP-477

CARPOL® SP-477 is a sucrose-initiated polyether polyol. The high functionality of the initiator yields a resultant polyol with a nominal functionality of five and a typical hydroxyl value of 470. Due to this polyol’s functionality, its niche is rigid foam and its applications. Blending this polyol with other polyether polyols allows for foam systems with high to low degrees of crosslinking. In addition, CARPOL® SP-477 is a neutral material, which presents the formulator with complete catalytic control over a system.
