Pentaerythritol is a polyhydric alcohol that is employed as a chemical intermediate in the preparation of alkyd resins, paints, coatings and adhesives. It is valued for enhancing these products’ durability, hardness, and drying properties.
Alkyd Intermediate
Paint, Ink & Coatings
Serves as a fundamental component in the production of alkyd resins that find application in paints, varnishes and coatings.
It improves the film-forming and drying properties of products based on alkyd resins, providing good adhesion and durability.
Used in the formation of coatings and paints to be applied on metallic, wooden, and concrete surfaces.
Improves the durability of the finished coatings in terms of weather resistance, chemical resistance, and maintenance of the gloss level.
Used in adhesive formulations to enhance the adhesion performance and the overall performance of the adhesive products.
Improves the wetting characteristics and efficiency of the adhesive in various uses.
It is commonly used as a plasticizer in the production of plastics, synthetic rubbers, and polyurethanes.
Used as an ingredient in making explosives and blasting agents used in mining and construction industries.
Enhances the stability and effectiveness of explosive compositions.
Pentaerythritol is shipped in sealed metal drums or high-density polyethylene (HDPE) containers for ease of handling and storage.
