Neopentyl Glycol (NPG)

Description

What is Neopentyl Glycol (NPG)?

Neopentyl Glycol (NPG) is a high-purity organic compound widely used as a building block in the manufacture of high-performance resins and coatings. Chemically known as 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediol, NPG is a colorless, odorless crystalline solid that offers excellent stability against heat, light, and oxidation.

With its unique molecular structure and superior chemical resistance, Neopentyl Glycol plays a vital role in the production of saturated and unsaturated polyester resins, alkyd resins, powder coating resins, and polyurethane resins.

At Chemex Chemicals, we offer premium-grade Neopentyl Glycol manufactured by LG Chem, the world’s second-largest producer of NPG, known for its advanced production technology and global quality standards.

Key Applications of Neopentyl Glycol (NPG)

• Saturated Polyester Resins

Neopentyl Glycol is a key raw material in the manufacture of saturated polyester resins used in powder coatings, coil coatings, and automotive paints. It enhances resistance to UV, chemicals, and weathering.

• Alkyd Resins

NPG is extensively used in alkyd resins for industrial coatings, metal paints, and architectural finishes. It provides high gloss, flexibility, and long-term durability.

• Unsaturated Polyester Resins (UPR)

In UPR manufacturing, NPG improves the mechanical properties and chemical resistance of the final product. These resins are widely used in fiberglass-reinforced plastics (FRP) and composites.

• Polyurethane Resins

Neopentyl Glycol is used in polyurethane foam and elastomer production, offering enhanced elasticity, hydrolysis resistance, and weather stability—ideal for automotive, furniture, and footwear applications.

• Plasticizers and Lubricants

Due to its high purity and stability, NPG is also used in the formulation of plasticizers, synthetic lubricants, and personal care ingredients.
