Trimethylolpropane (TMP) is a tri-functional polyol (triol) characterized by its three primary hydroxyl groups attached to a neopentane core, resulting in a solid, crystalline material that yields polymers with superior hardness and hydrolysis resistance. This functionality makes it a key monomer for producing high-performance alkyd and saturated polyester resins, polyurethane coatings and elastomers, and synthetic lubricants, where it enhances rigidity, durability, and thermal stability.
