What Does HTPB Stand For?
HTPB stands for Hydroxy Terminated Polybutadiene
HTPB, or Hydroxy Terminated Polybutadiene, is a high-performance polymer characterized by its hydroxy functional groups and a butadiene backbone. It is widely utilized in various applications, including the production of solid rocket propellants, adhesives, and sealants, due to its excellent mechanical properties, flexibility, and chemical resistance. Its reactive hydroxyl groups enable it to be cross-linked with isocyanates, enhancing its strength and durability in composite materials.
