Polytetrahydrofuran (PTMEG) is a type of polycol prepared from tetrahydrofuran (THF) with the repeat unit [–CH2(CH2)3O–].

It is easily soluble in alcohols, esters, ketones, aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons, and insoluble in fatty hydrocarbons or water, white waxy solid at room temperature, when the temperature exceeds room temperature, it becomes transparent liquid.
When its molecular weight increases, its solubility drops.
At room temperature, PTMEG is a good absorbent of water up to its molecular weight or maximum up to 2%.
Global Polytetrahydrofuran (PTMEG) key players include BASF, Dairen Chemical Corporation, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, Invista, Korea PTG, etc. Global top five players hold a share about 45%.
China is the largest market, with a share about 50%, followed by Europe and North America, having a total share about 25 percent.
In terms of product, Spandex Use is the largest segment, with a share about 70%. And in terms of application, the largest application is Spandex, followed by Polyurethanes, Copolyester-ether elastomers, etc.
