Popis: This contribution reports development and an application of high-performance catalysts, phosphazene catalysts (PZN and PZO) with high reactivity and selectivity for ring-opening polymerization reactions of propylene oxides that provide highly advanced polypropylene glycols. The produced polypropylene glycols with high purity and narrow molecular weight distributions have been commercialized as raw materials for environmentally- and people-friendly polyurethane foams (for car sheet cushions).
