Pentaerythritol  Manufacturers, Traders, Suppliers

Pentaerythritol is an organic compound with chemical formula C5H12O4, which belongs to polyol organic matter, is white crystalline powder, combustible and easy to be esterified by general organic acids. It is widely used in the production of alkyd resin in coating industry, the synthesis of advanced lubricants, plasticizers, surfactants, medicines and explosives, etc.

Pentaerythritol is mainly used in coating industry, which can be used to manufacture alkyd resin coatings, and can improve the hardness, luster and durability of coating films. It is also used as raw material of rosin grease for paint, varnish and printing ink, and can be used to make drying oil, smoldering paint and aviation lubricating oil. In addition, it is also used in the production of medicines and pesticides. Pentaerythritol contains four equivalent hydroxymethyl groups, which is highly symmetrical, so it is often used as a raw material for the preparation of multifunctional compounds. Pentaerythritol tetranitrate can be prepared by nitration, which is a high explosive; Pentaerythritol triacrylate can be obtained by esterification, which can be used as coating. It can also be used as flame retardant of adhesive, and intumescent flame retardant can be obtained by combining with ammonium polyphosphate. It is also used as a crosslinking agent for polyurethane to provide branched chains in polyurethane.
