3. Use and Manufacturing
3.1 Description
Trimethylolpropane (CAS 77-99-6) is a colorless solid with a molecular formula of C6H14O3. It has a basic structure consisting of three hydroxyl groups attached to a propane backbone. This chemical is highly soluble in water, allowing it to easily dissolve and form a clear solution. Trimethylolpropane has a melting point of approximately 56-58 degrees Celsius and a boiling point of around 200 degrees Celsius. It is also known for its low vapor pressure and stability under normal conditions.

Applicable Fields
Coatings and Adhesives: Trimethylolpropane is commonly used in the production of coatings and adhesives. It serves as a building block for the synthesis of various resins, such as alkyd resins and polyester resins. The mechanism of action involves the crosslinking of polymer chains, resulting in improved durability and adhesion properties.

Polyurethane Industry: In the polyurethane industry, trimethylolpropane is utilized as a polyol component in the production of polyurethane foams, coatings, and elastomers. Its purpose is to provide hydroxyl functionality, which reacts with isocyanates to form polyurethane polymers. The mechanism involves the formation of urethane linkages, resulting in the desired material properties.

Lubricants: Trimethylolpropane is also used as a base material in the production of lubricants. It acts as a multifunctional additive, providing improved viscosity, thermal stability, and oxidation resistance to lubricating oils. The mechanism involves the formation of a protective film on metal surfaces, reducing friction and wear.

Storage Conditions
Store in a cool, dry place.

Application
Trimethylolpropane 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.
Large quantities of trimethylolpropane and its ethoxylated derivatives are used as precursors for urethanes and polyester resins. Another important field of application is in medium-oil and short-oil alkyd resins (→ Alkyd Resins). The resulting lacquers are characterized by excellent resistance to alkali, detergents, and water, combined with outstanding impact resistance and flexibility, as well as excellent clearness and clearness retention.
