China, the United States, and Germany are the leading exporters of Trimethylolpropane (CAS 77-99-6), collectively accounting for over 60% of global export value in 2023–2024, while major importers include South Korea, India, and Mexico—reflecting strong demand from regional polyurethane and coating manufacturing hubs. Export volumes from China have expanded steadily since 2022, coinciding with moderate upward pressure on Trimethylolpropane prices amid tightening supply chains and rising raw material costs.
Trimethylolpropane (TMP) is a white, crystalline solid at room temperature with a mild, characteristic odor and low volatility; it melts at approximately 58–60 °C and decomposes before boiling under atmospheric pressure. It is a trifunctional aliphatic alcohol and a key polyol intermediate in organic synthesis. TMP is primarily used in the production of alkyd resins, polyester polyols, and urethane coatings, where its three hydroxyl groups enable high crosslink density and enhanced thermal and mechanical performance. Its derivatives are widely employed in high-performance coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers, particularly in automotive, industrial maintenance, and powder coating applications.
