Product Description
Trimethylolpropane (TMP) is a polyhydric alcohol that has three equally reactive hydroxyl groups making it a versatile building block with crosslinking capabilities for polyesters, polyurethanes and acrylates.
In liquid polyesters, alkyds and polyurethanes TMP is used to give additional crosslinking enabling increased resistance of your coating.
TMP acrylate is also well known to be a perfect fit as an acrylate in UV wood coatings combining low viscosity with high scratch resistance.
Another application benefitting from TMP is synthetic lubricants where polyesters are used in for example engine, transmission, hydraulic and metal working oils to give low viscosity and increased intrinsic viscosity.
Trimethylolpropane is a white material in flakes.

Trimethylolpropane is used in a large variety of commercial applications, including in the manufacturer of varnishes, resins; polyesters for polyurethane foams, textile finishes, plastictzers, and cross-linking agents for spandex fibers.

Trimethylolpropane Chemical Properties, Uses and Production

Chemical Properties
Trimethylolpropane is a Colorless, hygroscopic crystals. Soluble in water and alcohol. Combustible.The three primary hydroxyl groups undergo the normal OH group reactions.

Uses
Conditioning agent, manufacture of varnishes, alkyd resins, synthetic drying oils, urethane foams and coatings, silicone lubricant oils, lactone plasticizers, textile finishes, surfactants, epoxidation products.

Uses
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.
Reaction products with fatty acids (C5 –C10) are components of synthetic lubricants. A strongly growing market will be the use of these blended polyol esters in chlorine-free, purely fluorocarbon based refrigerant systems. Powder and high-solids coatings represent a strong potential market for TMP, because it contributes to low viscosity. TMP acrylates are used as reactive diluents in UV-cured systems for inks and coatings, and TMP allyl ethers in unsaturated polyesters.

Chemical Synthesis
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.

Production
TMP is produced via a two step process, starting with the condensation of butanal with formaldehyde:

CH3CH2CH2CHO + 2 CH2O → CH3CH2C(CH2OH)2CHO
The second step entails a Cannizaro reaction:

CH3CH2C(CH2OH)2CHO + CH2O + NaOH → CH3CH2C(CH2OH)3 + NaO2CH. 
Approximately 200,000,000 kg are produced annually in this way.

Applications
TMP is mainly consumed as a precursor to alkyd resins.
Otherwise, acrylated and alkoxylated TMP's are used as multifunctional monomers to produce various coatings, Ethoxylated and propoxylated TMP, derived condensation of from TMP and the epoxides, are used for production of flexible polyurethanes.
Allyl ether derivatives of TMP, with the formula CH3CH2C(CH2OCH2CH=CH2)3-x(CH2OH)x are precursors to high-gloss coatings and ion exchange resins.
The oxetane "TMPO" is a photoinduceable polymerisation initiator.

TMP is used in the production of polyurethanes, synthetic lubricants and coatings.

Trimethylolpropane is a trifunctional alcohol with a wide spectrum of applications in the chemical industry, e.g. for the synthesis of alkyd and polyester resins, synthetic lubricants, PU-foams and lacquers or glues and adhesives. Furthermore trimethylol propane is used for the production of dyestuffs, pigments, paints and silicone products.

The plastic and polymer industry is growing all over the world. As trimethylolpropane is a building block for plastic and polymer, its demand is also increasing. As there is rise in the demand for TMPTM and TMPTA, there is growth in the production of trimethylolpropane. Rise in population and urbanization is leading to the growth of the construction industry and the development of infrastructure, which is contributing to the growth of the paints & coating industry. This is also boosting the demand for trimethylolpropane. Moreover, the growth of the textile, cosmetic and printing industries is also boosting the trimethylolpropane market.

The growth of the petroleum and lubricants market is propelling the trimethylolpropane market as it is used as a fuel additive as well as for the production of lubricants. The growth of the automotive industry is also leading to an increase in the demand for coatings, which is, in turn, boosting the market for trimethylolpropane. In addition, as trimethylolpropane is used for producing insulating wires and cables, its demand is increasing owing to the growth of the electrical industry. Its high stability and flexibility along with its non-corrosive nature has boosted its value in the global market.

However, as it is flammable, it requires proper handling and storage. Its storage facility needs proper ventilation and safety measures. These can act as restraining factors for the market.

Trimethylolpropane Market: Regional outlook

The plastic and polymer industry in China & India as well as other Asia Pacific countries is growing. The growth of these industries in North America, Latin America, Europe, Middle East and African countries has also been steady. Hence, there is huge demand for trimethylolpropane in these regions because it is a building block for polymer and a key component in plasticizer production. As it is a useful component in the paints and coating industry, its demand will be increase in proportion with the growth of the construction industry and infrastructure development. As population and urbanization is increasing in countries such as China & India, the construction industry in China, India and other Asia Pacific countries along with countries in Latin America is also expected to grow. Regions such as North America, Europe and the Middle East are mainly focused on the development of infrastructure. Therefore, these regions are potential markets for trimethylolpropane.
