It is a trihydric alcohol that can be used in all polyol applications.The
TME structure imparts improved heat, light, hydrolysis and oxidation resistance to products. These factors make TME a very desirable component of coating compositions where good weathering characteristics are required. TME Technical is a high-quality product widely used in the manufacture of alkyd and
polyester resins. TME Pure is a special grade that has been processed to a higher purity. TME is also available in a Nitration Grade, a specially purified grade, for use in themanufacture of explosives.

TME is widely used as a raw material for alkyd and polyester resins. Because of their stable neopentyl structure, TME-based resins offer superior resistance to the destructive influences of heat, moisture and light. TME-based alkyds also exhibit faster drying times and better hardness than corresponding alkyds prepared with other polyols. Trimethylolethane has been shown to provide superior corrosion protection, improved gloss retention, better abrasion resistance, reduced discolouration and improved temperature resistance in coating resins compared to those made with trimethylolpropane
(TMP).
Oil-free polyester resins made with TME are noted for their excellent colour retention. Siliconized polyesters made with TME offer improved heat resistance and weather resistance compared to other polyols. Both alkyd and polyester resins may be advantageously combined with melamine resins to
produce outstanding baking enamels. Those made with TME retain their white colour and gloss exceedingly well even when subjected to severe overbake.
TME esters may be used as the lubricant base stocks of plasticizers. Short chain aliphatic esters may be used in polyol ester synthetic lubricants that must withstand high temperatures. Small amounts of
antioxidants and corrosion inhibitors are incorporated in the finished lubricant. TME esters are also of value as textile lubricants and are reportedly useful as non-caloric shortenings for food. Due to improved stability, TME triacetate is preferred over triacetin as a specialty plasticizer. TME tribenzoate has been
cleared by the US Food and Drug Administration as an additive for adhesives in contact with food.
TME is a preferred surface treatment for titanium dioxide and other inorganic pigments. Use of TME as a solid phase energy storage medium was studied. Typical applications include solar energy storage devices, insulating fabrics, heat storing building products and food warming devices.
