Global Dimethylolpropionic Acid Market Trends, Applications, Analysis, Growth, And Forecast: 2018 To 2027

Global Dimethylolpropionic Acid Market: Overview

Dimethylolpropionic acid is a free flowing white crystalline solid that consists of a carboxylic group and two hydroxyl groups. Dimethylolpropionic acid acts as a diol molecule owing to the presence of carboxylic group which is less reactive in nature. Formaldehyde and propionaldehyde are used as raw materials to produce dimethylolpropionic acid. In addition, dimethylolpropionic acid promotes the water solubility of resin and alleviates the introduction of a polar group, which improves the coating adhesion and synthetic fiber dye receptivity.
