Hydrophilic polyurethane prepolymer is a polyurethane intermediate with hydrophilic groups (such as polyether, carboxylate or sulfonate) introduced into the molecular structure. It can form a stable emulsion or gel after contact with water, and has both the mechanical properties and hydrophilic properties of polyurethane. Its synthesis usually uses isocyanate and polyether polyol as the main raw materials. By adjusting the -NCO end group content and the proportion of hydrophilic segments, it can achieve functions such as water dispersibility, adhesion or water absorption. It is widely used in water-based coatings, medical dressings, textile finishing agents and sealants.
