Polycaprolactone CAS #24980-41-4

Polycaprolactone (PCL for brief) is a semi-crystalline polymer, which is a chemically manufactured naturally degradable polymer product. Its architectural repeating system has 5 non-polar methylene-CH2 starch and other substances mixed. Completely naturally degradable products can be generated.

Polyε-caprolactone (PCL) is a low-melting polymer gotten by ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone, and its melting point is just 62 ° C. The most usual use of polycaprolactone is to generate unique polyurethane. Polycaprolactone endows the generated polyurethane with good water resistance, oil resistance, solvent resistance as well as chlorine resistance.
