Bis-MPA

Product Description

Bis-MPA™, with the chemical name Dimethylolpropionic Acid (DMPA), is a trifunctional compound of neopentyl structure containing two primary hydroxyl groups and one tertiary carboxyl group. In polyurethane dispersions, the benefit of Bis-MPA™ is that only small amounts are needed to create stable dispersions, resulting in excellent water resistance. BisMPA™ is a white crystalline material.

Segment Applications

Polyurethane dispersions as well as other water based systems (e.g. alkyds, epoxy and polyesters). Also used in solventborne alkyds and in various other resin technologies.
