Last updated: April 2026 dataPentaerythritol is a polyol intermediate central to the production of alkyd resins, synthetic lubricants, explosives (PETN), and rosin esters used in adhesives and coatings. Its tetra-functional hydroxyl structure makes it a preferred building block wherever high crosslink density or thermal stability is required. Importers should note that certain grades sourced from major producing countries may be subject to antidumping or countervailing duty orders, so verifying current Commerce Department scope rulings before entry is essential.

Pentaerythritol has historically been subject to antidumping duty orders from certain origins. Importers should check the current scope of any active Commerce Department orders and obtain a scope ruling if the origin or grade is ambiguous before filing entry.
Technical-grade pentaerythritol typically contains a mixture of mono-, di-, and tri-pentaerythritol fractions, while mono-grade is highly purified. The specific composition can affect classification and may need to be documented with a certificate of analysis to support the correct tariff line at entry.
