Compared with conventional hydroxyl-terminated polyethers

the fluorine-containing polyether polyols can be used to prepare polymers with better performances

such as water repellent and oil repellent

self-cleaning

self-lubricating

and resistant to heat

UV light

weathering

corrosion

chemical

solvent and so on. Therefore it has a wide range of potential applications and development prospects. In this article

preparation technical approaches and chemical structure features of fluorine-containing polyether polyols at home and abroad have been reviewed in detail. Research progresses on fluorine-containing polyether polyol used in polyurethane elastmers

coatings and other application areas are briefly introduced. It is pointed out that the main directions of fluorine-containing polyether polyols for the future research and development should focus on lowering products costs

developing green high performance technical process

simplifying preparation techniques

optimizing the process conditions

and developing new products.
