What is a polyol

<p>Polyol is a reference to organic compounds that contain more then 1 hydroxyl groups&period; In the world of detailing it mainly refers to polymer technology or nanoscience that is being used in the manufacturering process of certain products&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h2>Polyoyl in detailing product<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<p>Not all products in the world of detailing are made with or from just one polymer&period; Take for example Alyd resins&comma; that is highly used as a binder in many oil-based coatings&period; Alkyd resins are low molecular weight polyols that are very popular due to their unique properties&period; Polymer chemistry is a field of work that is commonly used within the world of detailing to create synthetic products and&sol;or to enhance natural products&period; Even the foam used to create polishing pad can be subjected to these practises&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h2>Polyol in Nano-products<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<p>The preparation of metal nanoparticles often employ the &&num;8220&semi;polyol method&period;&&num;8221&semi; In such cases&comma; the polyol is usually a long chain diol such as hexadecanediol&period; Such diols serve as both reductants and surface-protecting agents for the nanoparticles&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;
