  • Polyesters: Improves the stability of polyesters to heat, light, and water

  • Paints: Used in the synthesis of paints

  • Plasticizers: Used in the synthesis of plasticizers

  • Hydraulic fluids: Used in hydraulic fluids

  • Greases: Used in greases

  • Metal-working fluids: Used in metal-working fluids

  • Aircraft engine lubricants: Used in aircraft engine lubricants

  • Polyester polyols: Used in polyurethane coatings for the automotive, industrial maintenance, transportation, and aerospace markets
