The Extrusion Challenge

Traditional pentaerythritol causes processing issues.
Micronization delivers the solution.

Traditional Pentaerythritol

Coarse particles lead to screen clogging and strand breakage.

Traditional Pentaerythritol
  • Screen clogging and back pressure
  • Irregular strands and breakage
  • Poor dispersion and surface defects
  • Lower loading, higher cost
VS

Micronized Pentaerythritol

Fine, uniform particles enable smooth extrusion and stable production.

Micronized Pentaerythritol
  • Clean screens, stable output
  • Zero strand breakage
  • Excellent dispersion and surface quality
  • High loading, better cost efficiency

How It Works

Strong Char. Stronger Protection.

Pentaerythritol acts as a carbon source in intumescent systems. Under heat, it promotes dehydration and crosslinking, forming a stable, expanded char that insulates the substrate and blocks heat and mass transfer.

1. Acid Activation

Under heat, Ammonium Polyphosphate (APP) decomposes to release phosphoric acid, triggering the IFR reaction.

1. Acid Activation

2. Dehydration & Crosslinking

Our Pentaerythritol reacts rapidly with the acid, acting as a crucial carbon backbone to form a dense ester network.

2. Dehydration & Crosslinking

3. Foaming

Blowing agents (like Melamine) release non-combustible gases, expanding the softened carbon layer into a thick, porous structure.

4. Char Layer

A stable, highly insulating char layer is formed, completely blocking heat and oxygen transfer to the underlying polymer.
