| main uses and functions | pentaerythritol, as a quaternary alcohol, is easy to esterify to form acids and esters, so it is mostly used as raw materials for alkyd resin coatings, mainly used as architectural coatings and automobile primers. In industry, pentaerythritol and concentrated nitric acid are esterified at 5~15 ℃ to obtain pentaerythritol tetranitrate (also known as PETN, Taien). It is a high-performance high explosive with greater explosive power than TNT. It is mostly used as an explosive, or mixed with TNT. Used extensively in the Second World War. Taien also has the effect of relaxing blood vessels. It is a long-acting vasodilator that can treat angina pectoris. The reaction of pentaerythritol and rosin acid can produce pentaerythritol rosin ester. It can be mixed with dry oil to obtain a coating with good hardness, water resistance and weather resistance. It is used for varnish, floor ink, etc. An alkyd resin coating can be made by esterification polycondensation of pentaerythritol or glycerol with phthalic anhydride and fatty acids. The use of different kinds and different amounts of fatty acids can improve the properties of alkyd resin, making it a coating suitable for various needs. It is widely used as a coating for metal and wood surfaces. It is a commonly used industrial paint and architectural paint for bridges, railways, derricks, housing construction, etc. Due to the low price of alkyd resin, easy availability of raw materials, easy modification, strong adaptability and good comprehensiveness, it has developed rapidly since it entered industrial production in 1927 and has become the backbone of the coating industry. Pentaerythritol is commonly used in the coating industry. It is the raw material of alkyd coatings. It uses four hydroxyl groups to produce highly cross-linked coatings. This coating has excellent hardness and color, and can improve the hardness, gloss and durability of the coating film. It is also used as a raw material for varnish, paint and ink to produce rosin ester, and can be used as flame retardant, dry oil and aviation lubricating oil. Pentaerythritol fatty acid esters are polyvinyl chloride plasticizers and stabilizers, and are also used in the manufacture of medicines, pesticides, and lubricants. pentaerythritol acrylate produced by pentaerythritol and acrylic acid has quick-drying properties and is widely used in radiation-curing coatings and quick-drying printing inks to produce water-soluble alkyd resins. Its polymers can be used as adhesives. C6 ~ C10 fatty acid esters of pentaerythritol are mainly used as advanced lubricants for steam turbines, automobile engines, etc. The ester synthesized by this product and C10 ~ C12 fatty acid can be used as a plasticizer for plastics, with low volatility and aging resistance; it reacts with epoxy compounds, and its products can be used as surfactants, widely used in detergents, cosmetics and perfume raw materials; this product is also used as raw materials for explosives, medicines, pesticides, etc.; organic intermediates, etc. |
| chemical additive | pentaerythritol can be used as a stabilizing additive for polyvinyl chloride. it has a synergistic effect when used with zinc salt stabilizer, and can replace allyl chloride to stabilize polyvinyl chloride. The general dosage is 0.5 parts. However, this product has little compatibility with resin, is easy to spray frost, and is easily soluble in water and easy to sublimate. During the processing, the sublimation is deposited on the processing equipment, which hinders the processing. |
| harmful effects and toxic symptoms | pentaerythritol is low in toxicity. rats are exposed to oral toxicity at a dose of 40 g/kg body weight, and no obvious toxic symptoms are found. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration licenses it for food packaging materials (FDA121.2566) with a maximum dosage of 0.4%. It has been reported that ingestion studies have shown that 85% pentaerythritol is excreted from the urine within 30 hours after oral administration. Generally speaking, there is no significant effect on health according to the usual exposure route or even at abnormal concentration. |
| Uses | Mainly used in the production of alkyd resins, and also used as raw materials for manufacturing inks, lubricants, plasticizers, surfactants, explosives and drugs Used as resins and synthetic fiber antistatic agents, solvent conditioners, fiber oils, etc. Pentaerythritol is mainly used in the coating industry and is the raw material for alkyd resin coatings, it can improve the hardness, gloss and durability of the coating film. It is also used as the raw material of rosin grease required for varnish, color paint and printing ink, and can be used to make smoldering coatings, dry oil and air lubricating oil. The tetranitrate of pentaerythritol is a high explosive (ie Tai'an); its fatty acid ester is a high-efficiency lubricant and polyvinyl chloride plasticizer; its epoxy derivative is the production of non-free surfactants The raw material of pentaerythritol is easy to form authoritative complexes with metals. It is also used as a hard water softener in detergent formulations. In addition, it should also be produced in medicines and pesticides. used in the coating industry, can also prepare aviation lubricating oil, explosives, plasticizer, stabilizer used as gas chromatography reagent and insecticide gas chromatography stationary liquid, separation and analysis of low boiling point oxygen compounds, amine compounds, nitrogen or oxygen heterocyclic compounds. Organic synthesis, polyol preparation, resin synthesis. gas chromatography stationary solution [the maximum service temperature is 150 ℃, the solvent is chloroform butanol (1:1)], separation and analysis of low boiling point oxygenates, amine compounds, nitrogen or oxygen heterocyclic compounds. Organic synthesis, polyol preparation, resin synthesis. |
| production method | formaldehyde and acetaldehyde are used as raw materials and reacted in the presence of alkaline condensing agent. When sodium hydroxide is used as the condensing agent, it is called the sodium method. The molar ratio of raw materials is acetaldehyde: formaldehyde: alkali = 1.5:6:1.1-1.3. Add sodium hydroxide solution into 37% formaldehyde solution, add acetaldehyde under stirring, and react at 25-32 ℃ for 6-7h. After neutralization and filtration to obtain pentaerythritol. Raw material consumption quota: formaldehyde (37%)2880kg/t, acetaldehyde 350kg/t. When calcium hydroxide is used as a condensing agent, it is called calcium method. The molar ratio of raw materials is acetaldehyde: formaldehyde: lime = 1:4.7:0.7-0.8. Add formaldehyde solution, 20% acetaldehyde solution and 25% lime milk to the reaction pot and react below 60 ℃. The color of the condensation solution changes from gray to green. Gradually cool down to 45 ℃ and put it in an acidizing pot. The condensation solution was acidified with 60-70% sulfuric acid to a pH of 2-2.5, and then the calcium sulfate was reduced with a filter press. The filtrate was removed from the residual calcium ions by ion-effect exchange column, and concentrated under reduced pressure in drought. The gas phase temperature was maintained below 70 ℃ and the vacuum degree was maintained at 77.3kPa. At the beginning of crystallization, the concentrated solution is put into the crystallization tank, stirred to cool the crystallization, centrifuged and separated, washed with water to pH 3, and the wet finished product is dried by air flow to obtain the finished product. The consumption of calcium method is high, and there are many problems with three wastes. Raw material consumption quota: formaldehyde (36.5%)4700kg/t, acetaldehyde 550kg/t. |
