Tripropylene Glycol from China
Tripropylene glycol is an acyclic triol oligomer used as a reactive diluent in polyurethanes and epoxy resins, falling under HTS 2905.39.90.00 as an 'other' acyclic alcohol derivative. Its propoxylated structure maintains diol-like reactivity.

Import Tips
• Specify exact oligomer distribution (monodisperse vs polydisperse) in technical data
• Distinguish from unreactive polypropylene glycol (Chapter 39)
• Provide viscosity and hydroxyl number confirming reactive diol nature
