Affected by the continued growth of downstream demand, China’s trimethylolpropane industry still has considerable room for improvement in production capacity.

Trimethylolpropane (TMP for short) is an important fine chemical product. It has white flaky crystals. It is easily soluble in water, low-carbon alcohols, etc., partially soluble in acetone, ethyl acetate, and slightly soluble in carbon tetrachloride and carbon tetrachloride. Ether and chloroform are insoluble in aliphatic hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons and chlorinated hydrocarbons. Trimethylolpropane has a low melting point and has three hydroxymethyl groups in its molecular structure. It can react with organic acids to form monoesters or polyesters, react with aldehydes and ketones to form acetals and ketals, and react with diisocyanates to form carbamic acid. Ester etc. The downstream fields of trimethylolpropane are alkyd resins and UV coatings. It can also be used in surfactants, high-grade lubricants, printing inks, foam plastics, plasticizers, wetting agents and other fields.

The development of China’s trimethylolpropane industry started late, but it has developed rapidly. In recent years, with the continued growth of domestic market demand and the support of downstream industry policies, some companies have actively expanded production capacity through measures such as expanding production capacity and optimizing production processes, enriching The company’s product line will enhance the company’s competitiveness, promote the rapid growth of China’s trimethylolpropane industry production capacity, and also drive the continued growth of China’s trimethylolpropane industry output.

According to the “2023-2028 Trimethylol Propane Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospect Forecast Analysis Report” released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that trimethylolpropane is a widely used chemical raw material and chemical product. It is widely used in many fields such as alkyd resin, polyurethane, unsaturated resin, polyester resin, coatings, etc. It is also a synthetic aviation lubricant, Raw materials for plasticizers, surfactants, wetting agents, printing inks, etc. In addition, trimethylolpropane can be directly used as a textile auxiliary and a heat stabilizer for PVC resin. In recent years, the continued development of major downstream industries such as alkyd resins, UV coatings, and plasticizers has driven the growth of demand in the trimethylolpropane industry. Driven by demand, trimethylolpropane industry production has increased significantly.

After years of development, my country has formed strong competitiveness in the production of trimethylolpropane, and many large enterprises have emerged, such as Shandong Fufeng Perstor Co., Ltd., Jiangxi Gaoxin Frontier Technology Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Baichuan Hi-Tech New Technology Co., Ltd. Material Co., Ltd., Guizhou Zhongyida Co., Ltd., Hubei Yihua Chemical Co., Ltd., etc. These enterprises occupy a relatively high market share in the domestic market by virtue of their scale advantages and technological advantages, and their market concentration is relatively high.

Industrial analysts said that in recent years, my country’s trimethylolpropane production companies have increased their efforts to improve the trimethylolpropane production process. Research and development, production technology continue to improve, product purity and quality stability have been significantly improved, which is conducive to the increase in the application of trimethylolpropane in UV coatings, alkyd resin and other industries, and is also conducive to the application of trimethylolpropane in other fields , which will drive the demand for trimethylolpropane to further increase.
