Neopentyl glycol (NPG) has unique structure responsible for allowing rapid esterification, high chemical and thermal stability as well as high crystalline and weatherability.
It is mainly used for making alkyd resins, polyester resins, unsaturated polyester resins, polyurethane foams and synthetic lubricants, as well as for coatings and plasticizers. It can also be used as a raw material for the production of polymer inhibitors, oil additives,
stabilizers and insecticides.
