Product overview

Pentaerythritol is polyol organic compounds.

Its chemical formula is C5H12O4.

It typically appears as white crystalline powder.

It is soluble in water, slightly soluble in alcohol and formamide, but insoluble in benzene, carbon tetrachloride, ether, acetone and petroleum ether.

Properties

Physical StateWhite Crystalline Powder
SolubilitySolubility in water, slightly soluble in alcohol and formamide
InsolubilityInsoluble in benzene, carbon tetrachloride, ether, acetone and petroleum ether
CoatingsProduction of alkyd resin, synthesis of advanced lubricants, plasticizers, surfactants.
CompatibilityIncompatible with strong acids, strong oxidizing agents, acid chlorides, acid anhydrides.

Applications

It can be used to make alkyd resin coatings, which can improve the hardness, gloss and durability of coating films. It also uses raw materials for rosin, such as coloring paints, varnishes and printing inks, and can produce drying oils, smolder coatings and aviation lubricants.

Pentaerythritol contains four equal hydroxymethyl groups in the molecule, which has a high degree of symmetry, so it is often used as a raw material for the preparation of multifunctional compounds.

A flame retardant used as a adhesive, and.
