LYB produces polytetramethylene glycol (PTMEG) from tetrahydrofuran (THF)—a key ingredient in the manufacture of spandex fibers, specialty elastomers and high-performance coatings. Known for its elasticity and durability, PTMEG is a trusted choice in demanding applications.

We are also the sole global producer of SAA resinous polyols, a family of high-Tg, low-molecular-weight and highly functional resins. These advanced polyols are used to:

• Enhance appearance, chemical resistance and corrosion resistance in thermosetting urethane and melamine coatings
• Act as polyol starters in the formulation of low-viscosity alkyd resins used in low-VOC, fast-drying and durable coatings

With a commitment to innovation and performance, LYB polyols support next-generation solutions in textiles, industrial coatings and specialty applications.
