    Trimethylolpropane is a white solid or liquid used to manufacture resins, lubricants, foams, lacquers, glues, adhesives, dyes, pigments, paints and silicones. It has low toxicity if inhaled or ingested and may cause irritation upon contact. Long term overexposure is not expected to cause adverse health effects. It is readily biodegradable in the environment and not expected to bioaccumulate. With proper handling and use, trimethylolpropane does not pose a significant risk to human health or the environment.

    Product Safety Assessment

    Trimethylolpropane

    This document provides a brief description of trimethylolpropane, its uses, and the potential hazards
    associated with short and long term exposure. Environmental impact information for accidental releases
    is included. This information is general in nature and is not intended as a replacement for the safety
    data sheet (SDS), product label and other safe handling literature. For additional information consult the
    LANXESS safety data sheet.

    Identification
    Product Name: Trimethylolpropane
    Chemical Name: 2,2-Dihydroxymethylbutanol-1
    Synonym(s): 1,1,1-Trimethylolpropane
    1,1,1-Tris(hydroxymethyl)propane
    2,2-Bis(hydroxymethyl)-1-butanol
    Hexaglycerol
    CAS Number: 77-99-6

    Description
    Overview: Trimethylolpropane is a white solid in flake or powder form at ambient
    temperatures. The chemical is shipped and used in a liquid (hot melt)
    form. Liquid form trimethylolpropane is colorless and has a mild odor.
    Uses: Trimethylolpropane is used as an additive or intermediate in the
    manufacture of alkyd and polyester resins, synthetic lubricants,
    polyurethane foams, lacquers, glues, adhesives, dyes, pigments, paints
    and silicone products.
    Properties: Melting Point: 138.2°F (58°C) Approx.
    Boiling Point: 579°F (304°C)
    Flash Point: 372°F (189°C) Soluble
    Solubility in Water:

    Product Safety Assessment: Trimethylolpropane

    Potential Human Health Effects


    Occupational Exposure
    Potential for occupational exposure to trimethylolpropane exists during manufacture, at
    transloading, storage and staging areas and in mixing or sampling operations. A much lower
    potential for exposure exists in facilities using the chemical in closed manufacturing processes by
    trained personnel.
    Employee Training
    Workers handling trimethylolpropane are trained to implement proper handling procedures and to
    understand the potential health and physical hazards of this product. A NIOSH approved air-
    purifying particulate respirator may be required in work environments with insufficient ventilation. In
    addition, LANXESS recommends that goggles, permeation resistant clothing, gloves and foot
    protection be worn when handling trimethylolpropane.
    Consumer Exposure
    LANXESS does not sell trimethylolpropane to the general public. Consumers may be exposed to
    trace amounts of the chemical from the handling of products manufactured using the chemical as
    an ingredient.
    Short-Term Health Effects
    Inhalation or ingestion of trimethylolpropane dust may induce a cough. Contact with heated (liquid)
    trimethylolpropane may cause thermal burns. Mechanical irritation may occur when in contact with
    the eyes.
    Long-Term Health Effects
    No applicable information was found concerning any adverse chronic health effects from
    overexposure to this product.

    Physical Hazards
    Trimethylolpropane is stable under normal conditions of use. Avoid contact with moisture in storage.
    Avoid contact with phosphorus compounds, nitric acid, hydrogen peroxide and strong oxidizing
    agents. Heating to decomposition may release carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and other
    potentially toxic fumes.

    Product Safety Assessment: Trimethylolpropane

    Potential Environmental Impact


    Trimethylolpropane is readily biodegradable. An accidental release to water may pose a danger to
    fish (low toxicity), invertebrates (low toxicity) and other aquatic organisms (low toxicity) prior to
    degradation. Bioaccumulation is not expected.

    Conclusion
    Under normal conditions of anticipated use as described in this Product Safety Assessment, and if
    the recommended safe use and handling procedures are followed, trimethylolpropane is not
    expected to pose a significant risk to human health or the environment.
