Softening Agent in Detergents

Overview

Pentaerythritol (Penta-Mono grade) is a white crystalline powder. It is a synthetic polyhydric alcohol containing four primary hydroxyl groups (tetra functional compound). It provides the outstanding properties due to the nature of compact structure and high density of hydroxyl groups. Major application for Penta is branching of monomer for alkyd resin that provides the excellent performance related to drying speed, viscosity, water resistance properties of the paints. Chemanol produces Pentaerythritol with minimum 98% purity.
