BASF Announces Price Increases for Some Polyalcohols in Europe

Increases prices for neopentylglycol, trimethylolpropane and 1,6-hexanediol in Europe.

BASF is increasing the prices of the following polyalcohols with immediate effect or as existing contracts permit in Europe:
• Neopentylglycol (NPG) by €130/mt
• Trimethylolpropane (TMP) by €130/mt
• 1,6-Hexanediol (HDO) by €200/mt
 
Neopentylglycol (NPG) is a high-quality intermediate used, for example, to produce polyester resins for coatings, unsaturated polyester resins, lubricants and plasticizers. Trimethylolpropane (TMP) is a high-quality intermediate that is used primarily for the production of alkyd resins, which are used in paints and coatings. It also serves to produce lubricants. 1,6-Hexanediol (HDO) is used to manufacture industrial coatings including lower volatile organic compound formulations, polyurethanes, adhesives, and cosmetics.
