    Perstorp Expands TMP Production Capacity

    Photo of part of a chemical plant
    January 4, 2022

    MALMÖ, Sweden — Perstorp, a leader in the production of trimethylolpropane (TMP), has ramped up the capacity to meet growing demand from the European market. The expansion will take place in Vercelli, Italy. 

    TMP is used to enhance the properties of numerous materials. Common applications include the use in saturated polyesters for coil coatings, polyurethanes for coatings and elastomers, acrylic acid esters for radiation curing, esters for synthetic lubricants, and for the surface treatment of pigments.

    Filip Tauson, Global VP Polyols at Perstorp, said, “The capacity expansion is fully in line with Perstorp’s ambition to further strengthen our position in the Polyols market. TMP is a key product in our Polyol portfolio, which is a core business within Perstorp. This product line has been instrumental in the development of Perstorp as an international company and we are happy to expand our position further to be able to serve a strong demand from the market.”
