A urethane is formed from the reaction of an isocyanate with an alcohol. In general, polyurethanes are made using a diisocyanate, a low molecular weight diol(thermoplastic) and/or triol(cross-linked), and a polyether glycol or a polyester glycol. If the reagents are difunctional, a non cross-linked thermoplastic polyurethane will be formed; if the functionality of at least one of the reagents is greater than two, a cross-linked or three dimensional network will form. Cross-linked polyurethanes exhibit less mechanical creep than non cross-linked polyurethanes. The rubbery modulus of polyurethanes increases as the level of cross-linking is increased. Polyurethanes are diblock copolymers. They consist of hard segments(isocyanate and the chain extender rich areas) that act as physical crosslinks, and soft segments(polyether or polyester glycol rich areas). 3, record 3, English, - three%20dimensional%20network

PETG, glycol-modified polyethylene terephthalate, is a copolyester that is a clear amorphous thermoplastic. PETG sheet has high stiffness, hardness, and toughness as well as good impact strength. Unstressed PETG exhibits good resistance to dilute aqueous solutions of mineral acids, bases, salts, and soaps. PETG also has good resistance to aliphatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, and a variety of oils. Halogenated hydrocarbons, low molecular weight ketones, and aromatic hydrocarbons dissolve or swell this plastic. PETG does not contain a UV inhibitor and it is not suggested for use in applications involving continuous long-term outdoor exposure. 6, record 5, English, - poly%28ethylene%20terephthalate%29%20glycol

Alcohol’s are important solvents in finishing. If you see a chemical compound with the "ol" as a suffix its an alcohol. You can have a low molecular weight alcohol like methanol (CH3OH) or a high molecular weight alcohol like glycerol (CH2OH·CHOH·CH2OH). What they all have in common is what chemists call a functional group - in this case it’s the OH group - called a hydroxyl group. The number of hydroxyl groups determine whether it’s an alcohol or a polyol (containing more than one hydroxyl groups). The most common ones are what chemists call the lower alcohols. 6, record 11, English, - higher%20alcohol

The principle use [of ethylene oxide] is in the manufacture of ethylene glycol and higher alcohols which find important applications in automotive antifreeze, explosives, cellophane, polyester resins, synthetic fibers and rubbers, and hydraulic fluids. The higher alcohols such as di-and tri-are used as plasticizers, humectants, lubricants, and solvents. 7, record 11, English, - higher%20alcohol

Alcools supérieurs. On les nomme ainsi car leur chaîne moléculaire est plus longue que celle de l'éthanol. Dans cette famille on trouve : le propanol, le méthyle 2 propanol 1, le butanol 1 et 2, le méthyle 2 et 3 butanol 1. Bien que produit en faible quantité (500 mg) lors de la fermentation alcoolique, ils contribuent, sous forme libre ou estérifiée, à l'identité et à la complexité des vins. 4, record 11, French, - alcool%20sup%C3%A9rieur
