Trimethylol propane, Trimethylolpropaneis ,TMP, CAS 77-99-6 is white flakes which has strong ability to absorb moisture while exposed to atmosphere,easily soluble in water and acetone, soluble in carbon tetrachloride, chloroform and aether, insoluble in fatty hydrocarbon and aromatic hydrocarbon. Trimethylolpropane (TMP) is the organic compound with the formula CH3CH2C(CH2OH)3. This colourless solid is a triol. Containing three hydroxy functional groups, TMP is a widely used building block in the polymer industry.

Application of Trimethylol propane TMP
Trimethylol propane 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.
1) Used for producing Alkyd resins,Saturated polyesters.
2) Used for producing Synthetic lubricants,plasticizer,printing ink.
3) Curing agent for coating.
4) Textile auxiliary agent, heat stabilizer for PVC.
5) Used for producing emulgator.
