Overview

Product information

Neopentyl glycol is a branched aliphatic diol containing two primary hydroxyl groups. Its structure makes it an established building block for polyester, alkyd and other resin systems where hydrolytic stability and controlled polymer architecture are required.

It is commonly used as a chemical intermediate in coatings, resins, plasticizers, lubricants and related polymer chemistry. Exact purity, flake or molten form and other commercial specifications depend on grade and should be confirmed from Hamara’s intended supply specification.
