EO Derivatives Process

 

 

 

Highlights regarding the SD EO derivatives portfolio of processes are:

Alkoxylation:

  • Licensed projects worldwide
  • Standard EO and PO adducts, primarily for surfactants, as well as EO/PO block and random copolymers
  • Polyether polyols for polyurethane foams
  • High reaction rate and lowest level of dissolved oxide in the liquid phase
  • High rates of heat and mass transfer leading to the lowest level of byproducts in the industry
  • Greatest flexibility of products and batch sizes in the industry
  • Better than 99.9% yield on chain starter and alkoxides
  • Industry's highest product quality, with low free alkoxide, low dioxane and polyglycols and very good color

Ethanolamines:

  • Four licensed projects
  • Flexible ratio of mono-, di and tri-ethanolamines

Glycol Ethers:

  • Commercially proven process
  • Flexibility to use several alcohols as feedstock
  • Wide product range
