Neopentyl glycol (IUPAC name: 2,2-dimethylpropane-1,3-diol) is an organic chemical compound. It is used in the synthesis of polyesters , paints , lubricants , and plasticizers . When used in the manufacture of polyesters, it enhances the stability of the product towards heat, light, and water.
Neopentyl glycol diglycidyl ether (NPGDGE) is an organic chemical in the glycidyl ether family. It is aliphatic and a colorless liquid. It has the formula C 11 H 20 O 4 and the CAS registry number of 17557-23-2. [2] It has two oxirane groups per molecule. [3] Its principle use is in modifying epoxy resins. [4] It is REACH registered. [5]
Glycol ethers are designated "E-series" or "P-series" for those made from ethylene oxide or propylene oxide, respectively.Typically, E-series glycol ethers are found in pharmaceuticals, sunscreens, cosmetics, inks, dyes and water-based paints, while P-series glycol ethers are used in degreasers, cleaners, aerosol paints and adhesives.
Dibromo neopentyl glycol diglycidyl ether is a brominated version of neopentyl glycol diglycidyl ether. It is an aliphatic organic chemical in the glycidyl ether family that is used in epoxy resin formulations. It has the molecular formula C 11 H 18 Br 2 O 4
Diglycidyl ethers are chemical compounds used as a reactive diluents for epoxy resin. Other uses include treating textiles and stabilizing chlorinated organic compounds . Diglycidyl ether itself is extremely toxic, and can prove fatal or cause permanent damage if inhaled or consumed orally.
Exposure to n-butyl glycidyl ether through inhalation, eye contact, or skin exposure can cause a cough, sore throat, eye and skin redness, and pain. It is flammable and reacts with strong oxidants, strong bases, strong acids, and amines.
Hydroxypivalic acid neopentyl glycol ester is produced by a Tishchenko reaction from hydroxypivaldehyde in the presence of a basic catalyst (e.g., aluminium oxide). [ 7 ] The Tishchenko reaction of paraformaldehyde in the presence of aluminum methylate or magnesium methylate forms methyl formate .
Neopentyl alcohol can be prepared from the hydroperoxide of diisobutylene. [3] It can also be prepared by the reduction of trimethylacetic acid with lithium aluminium hydride . Neopentyl alcohol was the first described in 1891 by L. Tissier, who prepared it by reduction of a mixture of trimethyl acetic acid and trimethylacetyl chloride with ...
