Frequently Asked Questions

What is the function of pentaerythrityl tetrapelargonate?

Pentaerythrityl tetrapelargonate (CAS 14450-05-6) is the tetraester of pentaerythritol with pelargonic (nonanoic) acid, supplied as a light emollient ester. It functions as an emollient, a lubricant, and a processing aid in cosmetic and industrial formulations.

What is pentaerythrityl tetrapelargonate made from?

It is produced by esterifying pentaerythritol (a tetraol) with four equivalents of pelargonic (nonanoic, C9) acid, giving the tetraester with molecular formula C41H76O8. The result is a low-viscosity, light-feel ester.

Is pentaerythritol an alcohol?

Yes, the pentaerythritol backbone is a tetrahydric alcohol (four hydroxyl groups). In this product all four hydroxyls are esterified with pelargonic acid, so the finished material is an ester rather than a free alcohol.

What is the CAS number for pentaerythrityl tetrapelargonate?

It is supplied under CAS 14450-05-6 with molecular formula C41H76O8. An HS classification is not listed on the standalone record; confirm the appropriate tariff line for fatty-acid esters with your customs broker.
