 Effective September 1, 2026, or as existing contracts permit, BASF will increase its price for neopentylglycol (NEOL) in the United States and Canada for all grades and packaging. 



 Neopentylglycol (NPG) is a unique polyalcohol offering superior performance in relation to other polyalcohols. Due to its high chemical and thermal stability, NPG has proven effective in many applications, especially as a building block in the production of polyester and alkyd resins used in various coatings and plastics. An important application area for NPG is powder coatings, which are particularly successful in the construction industry as well as in the coating of household appliances. Other areas of application for NPG include the manufacture of lubricants, plasticizers and pharmaceuticals: It is used as a building block in the synthesis of hormones, cardiovascular drugs and painkillers. BASF markets NPG under its NEOL brand.
