Polytetrahydrofuran (PTMEG) is a type of polycol prepared from tetrahydrofuran (THF) with the repeat unit [–CH2(CH2)3O–].

It is easily soluble in alcohols, esters, ketones, aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons, and insoluble in fatty hydrocarbons or water, white waxy solid at room temperature, when the temperature exceeds room temperature, it becomes transparent liquid.
When its molecular weight increases, its solubility drops.
At room temperature, PTMEG is a good absorbent of water up to its molecular weight or maximum up to 2%.
