Pentaerythritol: Applications in Alkyd Resins, Lubricants, and Flame Retardants
Pentaerythritol (C(CH₂OH)₄, CAS 115-77-5) is one of the most versatile polyols in industrial chemistry. This white crystalline solid — produced by the condensation of acetaldehyde with formaldehyde in an alkaline medium — contains four hydroxyl groups arranged in a symmetrical tetrahedral geometry. That structural symmetry gives pentaerythritol its exceptional reactivity and the ability to form …
