Application
Commonly used in the paint industry, it is a raw material for alkyd coatings, which can improve the hardness, luster, and durability of paint films. It is also used as a raw material for modified rosin alcohol required in varnishes, paints, and printing inks, and can be used to produce flame retardant coatings, dry oils, and aviation lubricants. Pentaerythritol tetranitrate, which is made from Pentaerythritol, is a high explosive. Pentaerythritol fatty acid ester can be used as plasticizer and stabilizer of PVC resin. In addition, it can also be used in the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, surfactants, adhesives, pesticides, and lubricants.
Protective Measures
When the concentration of pentaerythritol dust in the air reaches more than 30g/m3, it can form an explosive mixture with the air, and explosion occurs when it exceeds 400℃. Therefore, it should be stored in a cool, dry and ventilated place, moisture-proof and fire-proof. Storage and transportation in accordance with general chemical regulations.
