Polycarbonate Glycol Market
Market Size, Share Global Outlook and Forecast 2025-
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Polycarbonate Glycol (PCG) is a specialized polymer that combines carbonate groups (-OCO-O-) with hydroxyl-terminated diols, offering unique properties like flexibility, thermal stability, and chemical resistance. These characteristics make it particularly valuable in polyurethane applications, where it serves as a key intermediate for producing elastomers, adhesives, coatings, and biodegradable materials. While traditional applications dominate current usage, emerging opportunities in biomedical engineering and sustainable materials are driving innovation.
