On August 17, 2021, BASF announced that it will increase the prices of selected polyols in North and South America from September 1, 2021 or as permitted by existing contracts
.
Pentylene glycol (NPG) is a unique polyol that provides excellent performance in many end-use applications
.
Due to its high chemical and thermal stability, NPG has proven itself in many applications, especially as a base material for the production of polyester and alkyd resins for various coatings and plastics
.
An important area of NPG application is powder coatings, which have proven to be particularly successful in the construction industry and in home appliance coatings
.
Other fields of application of NPG include the manufacture of lubricants, plasticizers and pharmaceuticals: it is used as a base material for the synthesis of hormones, cardiovascular drugs and pain relievers, among others
.
BASF sells NPG under its NEOL brand
.
Hexylene glycol (HDO) is used in the manufacture of industrial coatings, including low VOC formulations, polyurethanes, adhesives and cosmetics
.
HDO is also used as a reactive diluent in the formulation of epoxy systems, such as for the efficient production of rotor blades for modern wind turbines, and structural components for automotive lightweight applications
.
1,5-Pentanediol (PDO) is used as a linear diol in the production of various resin types such as polyester and polyurethane (polyester polyol and polycarbonate diol) resins
.
These resins are used, for example, in the production of adhesives and sealants
.
In this application, the flexibility and adhesion properties of PDO are valuable
.
On the other hand, PDO is also a specified resin and is also used in the production of coatings, where PDO helps to achieve a good balance between hardness and flexibility, adhesion, weather resistance and hydrolysis resistance
.
Capromer polycaprolactone is a specialty polyol for high performance polyurethane applications such as thermoplastic elastomers for technical applications and coatings
.
NEOL®, HDO® and Capromer® are registered trademarks of BASF Corporation
