Phosphorylated Pentaerythritol Reactive FR Polyol

Phosphorylated pentaerythritol is a reactive multifunctional phosphorus-containing polyol that combines the carbon source and acid source functionalities into a single molecule, simplifying intumescent system formulation and improving IFR efficiency. It is produced by reacting pentaerythritol with phosphoric acid or phosphorus oxychloride, yielding a product with both residual hydroxyl groups and covalently bound phosphorus. This dual-function molecule is used in reactive polyurethane foam systems, intumescent coatings, and halogen-free polyolefin FR applications.

Technical Specifications

appearanceWhite to off-white powder or viscous liquid
moisture (%)<1.0
acid value (mgKOH/g)5–30
phosphorus content (%)10–18
char yield at 600°C (%)25–40
hydroxyl value (mgKOH/g)400–900

Applications

  • Reactive flame-retardant polyol component in rigid polyurethane foam formulations
  • Self-intumescent coating component combining char source and acid source in one molecule
  • Halogen-free polyolefin FR compounding as combined char/acid source additive
  • Epoxy resin reactive FR with char-forming functionality for PCB and structural applications
  • Intumescent fire-stop caulk and sealant incorporating phosphorus into the polymer backbone

Key Features

  • Combined acid source and carbon source in one molecule simplifies IFR formulation and reduces additive count
  • Reactive OH groups enable covalent incorporation into PU foam and epoxy networks for non-migratory FR
  • High char yield (25–40% at 600 °C) provides condensed-phase contribution superior to unphosphorylated PER
  • Custom phosphorylation degree available to tune P content and hydroxyl functionality for specific applications
