pentaerythritol

It uses an explosive core of pentaerythritol tetranitrate which is inside its plastic coating.

Derivatives of pentaerythritol, tetrapodal compounds 12,13 and 14, were also evaluated for Fhit inhibition.

When esterified with pentaerythritol, it is used as a compound of adhesives and oil-based varnishes.

The example below is an idealized structure that could be obtained by reacting pentaerythritol (a tetrol) with gamma-butyrolactone.

She said that the explosive was pentaerythritol trinitrate, or PETN.

With a multifunctional initiator like glycerine, pentaerythritol or sorbitol the polymer branches out.

The explosive, whose full name is pentaerythritol tetranitrate, is usually mixed with other explosives and materials like latex to give it plasticity.

Formaldehyde is also a precursor to polyfunctional alcohols such as pentaerythritol, which is used to make paints and explosives.

It is made of Pentaerythritol tetranitrate and RDX.

Penthrite was first synthesized in 1891 by Tollens and Wiegand by nitration of pentaerythritol.

It is less sensitive than pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN).

Vertical integration has seen it diversify into products such as Phthalic Anhydride and Pentaerythritol, which are used in the paint manufacturing process.

Condensation with acetaldehyde affords pentaerythritol, a chemical necessary in synthesizing PETN, a high explosive.

Production is by the reaction of pentaerythritol with concentrated nitric acid to form a precipitate which can be recrystallized from acetone to give processable crystals.

Halogen-free pentaerythritol esters are also environmentally friendly alternative to conventional electrical transformer fluids, being both readily biodegradable and non-hazardous in water.

It forms acetals readily, a prominent one being the spirocycle derived from pentaerythritol, diallylidene pentaerythritol.

Neutron radiation degrades PETN, producing carbon dioxide and some pentaerythritol dinitrate and trinitrate.

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) analysts found the high explosive pentaerythritol (PETN) inside the device.

Derivatives of pentaerythritol are components of alkyd resins, varnishes, PVC stabilizers, tall oil esters, and olefin antioxidants.

Combustion-resistant vegetable oil-based dielectric coolants and synthetic pentaerythritol tetra fatty acid (C7, C8) esters are also becoming increasingly common as alternatives to naphthenic mineral oil.

The toner cartridges were filled with the odorless military grade plastic explosive pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), a white powder that is one of the most powerful explosives known.

In one of the more spectacular condensation reactions, three equivalents of formaldehyde add to MeCHO to give pentaerythritol, C(CHOH).

Both types are typically produced from dicarboxylic acids or anhydrides, such as phthalic anhydride or maleic anhydride, and polyols, such as trimethylolpropane, glycerine, or pentaerythritol.

They may be homopolymers of acrylic acid, crosslinked with an allyl ether pentaerythritol, allyl ether of sucrose or allyl ether of propylene.

And detonating cord normally contains pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), which Mr. Williams believed had been found on a knife carried by Mr. McVeigh.
