Pentaerythrityl Tetrabehenate

Other names: 2,2-Bis[[[(1-oxodocosyl)oxy]methyl]-1,3-propanediyl docosanoate

Pentaerythrityl Tetrabehenate, also known as 2,2-Bis[[[(1-oxodocosyl)oxy]methyl]-1,3-propanediyl docosanoate, is a white powder chemical with compressibility and good thermal properties. This substance is produced from esters of behenic acid and pentaerythritol. It is insoluble in cold water but can dissolve in hot water and organic solvents. Pentaerythrityl Tetrabehenate is capable of forming stable dispersions or emulsions.

Pentaerythrityl Tetrabehenate has a wide range of applications in several industries. One of these is the cosmetics industry, where it is used in the manufacture of various creams, lotions and make-up due to its excellent emulsifying and stabilizing properties. Applications of this material are also frequently found in the food industry where it serves as a food additive. Pentaerythrityl Tetrabehenate can also be useful in the pharmaceutical industry for the manufacture of tablets and other dosage forms. Due to its stabilising and emulsifying properties, it can improve the distribution of the drug and achieve uniform distribution. In addition, it is also used in the plastics industry as a filler and modifier. Although it is a relatively less well-known chemical compound, its use is wide and constantly expanding.
