Neopentyl glycol

Neopentyl glycol (CAS 126-30-7), commonly abbreviated as NPG, is a diol monomer used as a building block in polymer and resin synthesis.

Where is Neopentyl glycol used?

• Coatings and resins: improves weatherability and chemical resistance
• Printing inks: binder systems with adhesion stability
• Adhesives and sealants: NPG-based polyesters for flexible, durable bond lines
• Personal care: humectant and solvent carrier in emollients
• Construction and automotive assemblies frequently utilize these polyesters for long-term structural integrity.

Good to know: Its symmetrical structure resists hydrolysis and oxidation, giving finished materials improved durability. Its low irritation profile supports use in skin-contact products.

Commercial specifications

• Cosmetic-grade material meeting relevant purity thresholds
