Trimethylolethane or 2-hydroxymethyl-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol is a colorless non-toxic organic compound. The chemical structure of trimethylolethane mainly contains 3 hydroxyl groups in a compact neopentyl structure. Trimethylolethane largely finds its application as an intermediate in the production of polyester resins, powder coating resins, stabilizers for plastics, and synthetic lubricants based on polyol esters. Through process of nitration it is used in preparation of trimethylolethane trinitrate which acts as a liquid explosive similar to that of nitroglycerin. The major regions that dominate the market the market for trimethylolethane and other neopentyl polyhydric alcohols are Europe, followed by Asia and the U.S. and then rest of the world (RoW). The prime reason behind this is the continued requirement in the coatings sector followed by requirements in various other sectors.

Trimethylolethane is prepared through two stepped process starting from condensation of propionaldehyde along with formaldehyde. This process is then followed by cannizaro’s reaction to give trimethylolethane at its output along with excess formaldehyde which is then removed by distillation under pressure. Trimethylolethane has stable neo pentyl structure which makes trimethylolethane widely suitable in wide range of applications including those of resins. The applications in alkyd and polyester liquid resins make trimethylolethane highly appropriate in architectural coatings, powder coatings and coatings for transportation and...
