Neopentyl Glycol (NPG) Flakes

Neopentyl glycol is a chemically defined acyclic diol (2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediol) used primarily in the production of polyester resins and plasticizers. This product is imported as white crystalline flakes, meeting Chapter 29 note (a) for separate chemically defined organic compounds. Classified under 2905.39.20.00 as a diol other than ethylene or propylene glycol.

Industrial Grade Neopentyl Glycol Powder

High-purity neopentyl glycol powder (>99.5%) used in manufacturing alkyd resins for paints and powder coatings. As a separate acyclic diol, it qualifies under heading 2905 per Chapter 29 notes (a) and (f) allowing stabilizers for transport. Specifically identified under 2905.39.20.00 as 'other' diols.

Neopentyl Glycol for Polyurethane Production

Specialty grade neopentyl glycol used as chain extender in polyurethane elastomers and coatings. This pure acyclic diol falls squarely under 2905.39.20.00 as specified for neopentyl glycol, distinct from common diols like ethylene glycol.

Pharmaceutical Grade Neopentyl Glycol USP

Ultra-pure neopentyl glycol meeting USP standards for use in pharmaceutical intermediate synthesis. As a chemically defined diol without excluded characteristics, properly classified under 2905.39.20.00 rather than medicinal preparations.

High-Purity Neopentyl Glycol for Resins

Distilled neopentyl glycol (99.8% purity) specifically for unsaturated polyester resin production. Meets all Chapter 29 criteria as separate acyclic diol, subheading 2905.39.20.00.
