Polyglykol® M 2000 FL

Polyglykol® M 2000 FL by Clariant is a polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether. It is a white to slightly yellowish liquid. It is soluble in water and polar organic solvents like acetone or methanol. Polyglykol® M 2000 FL can be considered as high molecular alcohol and therefore displays typical chemical reactions of alcohols. With isocyanates and polyester they act as endcap and hydrophilic component. When reacted with unsaturated monomers like acrylic or methacrylic acid esters are formed which can be copolymerized in order to increase hydrophilicity and improves dispersing properties of polymers in water.
