Industrial Uses

1. Pharmaceuticals

  • Solvent and Carrier: Used as a solvent and carrier for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), enhancing their solubility and bioavailability in various formulations.
  • Intermediate in Drug Synthesis: Acts as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, facilitating the development of effective medications.

2. Sealants & Adhesives

  • Reactive Adhesives: Employed in reactive adhesive formulations, where it enhances adhesion properties and durability of bonds in construction and automotive applications.
  • Sealant Applications: Used in sealants for building materials, providing strong adhesion and resistance to moisture and temperature variations.

3. Personal Care

  • Emollient in Cosmetics: NPG serves as an emollient in personal care formulations, providing moisture and enhancing skin feel in products like lotions and creams.
  • Stabilizer for Emulsions: Acts as a stabilizing agent in emulsions, helping to maintain the consistency and effectiveness of cosmetic products.

4. Paints, Coatings & Adhesives

  • Resins: NPG is a key component in producing saturated polyester resins, which are widely used in powder coatings. These coatings benefit from NPG's contribution to hydrolytic stability, UV resistance, and weatherability, making them suitable for applications like automotive finishes and architectural coatings. In alkyd resin formulations, NPG enhances gloss, flexibility, and resistance to yellowing. These resins are commonly applied in decorative paints and industrial coatings. NPG is involved in the production of unsaturated polyester resins used in gel coats and fiberglass-reinforced plastics, offering improved chemical resistance and mechanical properties.
  • Crosslinking Agent : NPG's molecular structure, featuring two primary hydroxyl groups, allows it to react with diisocyanates and polyols to form urethane linkages. This characteristic makes it valuable in the production of polyurethane resins and foams, where it acts as a chain extender and crosslinking agent, contributing to the formation of polymers with desirable properties such as flexibility, durability, and thermal stability.

5. Construction

  • Concrete Additive: NPG can be used as an additive in concrete formulations to improve workability and durability, contributing to stronger construction materials.
  • Waterproofing Agents: Used in the formulation of waterproofing agents, enhancing moisture resistance in building materials.
