Polycaprolactone diol (PCL-diol), along with polytetrahydrofuran diol (PTHF-diol) and ceric ammonium nitrate may be used to polymerize methyl methacrylate (MMA). The product may be used to prepare biocompatible poly(ester urethane)urea (PEUU) and as a precursor for polyurethane (PU) thermoplastic polymer. Double functional caprolactone is the most common product type, which have molar mass in the range from 400 to 4000 g/mole; and acid number is about 0,25 mg KOH/g.
At present, the major manufacturers of plycaprolactone are concentrated in Europe, USA and Japan. Only three companies produce the plycaprolactone globally: BASF in the USA, Daicel in Japan and Ingevity in the UK. Ingevity is the biggest manufacturer of the world which holds nearly 64%, then followed by Daicel with 18% and BASF with 11%.
Asia Pacific is the world's major consumer regions with nearly 38% market share, and it is still increasing.
Resins & Coatings are the mainly application of the Polycaprolactone Diol, which has about 40% of the market share.
