PENTAERYTHRITOL Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Pentaerythritol is an organic compound with the chemical formula C5H12O4, used primarily in the production of alkyd resins, synthetic lubricants, and explosives. It is a white crystalline solid that is also employed in the manufacture of paints, varnishes, and plasticizers. Pentaerythritol is valued for its ability to enhance the stability and performance of various products. It is also used as an intermediate in chemical synthesis. Handling requires care to prevent inhalation or ingestion, as it can cause respiratory and digestive irritation. Proper storage and safety measures are essential to ensure safe use.
