2,2-Bis(hydroxymethyl)butanoic acid

Description:
2,2-Bis(hydroxymethyl)butanoic acid, commonly referred to as DMPA (Dimethylolpropionic Acid), is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water and polar organic solvents. It is a dicarboxylic acid with two hydroxymethyl groups attached to a butanoic acid backbone, which contributes to its unique properties. This compound is known for its ability to act as a chain extender and crosslinking agent in polymer chemistry, particularly in the production of waterborne polyurethane dispersions. Its structure allows for enhanced hydrophilicity and improved adhesion properties in coatings and adhesives. Additionally, DMPA is utilized in the synthesis of various polymers due to its functionality, which can facilitate the formation of networks that enhance mechanical strength and thermal stability. The presence of hydroxymethyl groups also makes it a potential candidate for further chemical modifications, expanding its applicability in various industrial processes. Safety data indicates that while it is generally considered to have low toxicity, appropriate handling and safety measures should be observed during its use.
