  • What is trimethylolpropane used for?
  • Trimethylolpropane (TMP) is used in the production of adhesive resins such as (polyurethanes polyester polyol and polycarbonate diol). Trimethylolpropane (TMP) is used as a precursor for the manufacture of resins including alkyds, saturated polyesters and polyurethanes (polyester polyol and polycarbonate diol).
  • How many hydroxyl groups does TMP have?
  • TMP has three hydroxyl groups. It is a white material in flakes. TMP is used in saturated polyesters for coil coatings, alkyds for paints, polyurethanes for coatings and elastomers, acrylic acid esters for radiation curing, esters for synthetic lubricants, rosin esters and for surface treatment of pigments.
  • How is trimethylolpropane made?
  • Trimethylolpropane is made by the base-catalyzed aldol addition of butyraldehyde with formaldehyde followed by Cannizzaro reaction of the intermediate 2,2-bis (hydroxymethyl) butanal with additional formaldehyde and at least a stoichiometric quantity of base.
  • What is TMP used for?
  • It is a white material in flakes. TMP is used in saturated polyesters for coil coatings, alkyds for paints, polyurethanes for coatings and elastomers, acrylic acid esters for radiation curing, esters for synthetic lubricants, rosin esters and for surface treatment of pigments. This product is available through Perstorp's storefront on Knowde.
  • How do you store trimethylolpropane?
  • 56-58 °C (lit.) 159-161 °C2 mm Hg (lit.) storage temp. Store below +30°C. Trimethylolpropane is a Colorless, hygroscopic crystals. Soluble in water and alcohol. Combustible.The three primary hydroxyl groups undergo the normal OH group reactions. Trimethylolpropane acts as a precursor to alkyd resins, high-gloss coatings and ion exchange resins.
