Intumescent coatings work as follows:
The thermoplastic binder melts upon exposure to the heat of the fire to allow further chemical reactions to take place in the softened matrix
The acid donor (often a salt of polyphosphate) decomposes to form polyphosphoric acid
The Polyphosphoric acid reacts with CHARMOR PM40 to form polyphosphoric acid esters
The esters decompose to form a foamable carbon matrix
The blowing agent (often melamine) releases gases that cause the carbon matrix to create a foam that hardens to form a tough insulating char barrier that adheres to the substrate
CHARMOR PM40 is particularly suitable for waterborne and solvent-borne intumescent coatings.
The particle size of CHARMOR PM40 used has an impact on the nature of the foam. Smaller particle sizes yield thicker char foam.

Production of CHARMOR PM40:
CHARMOR PM40 is manufactured from formaldehyde and acetaldehyde in the presence of an alkaline catalyst, such as sodium or calcium hydroxide.
Pentaerythrose is initially formed from three sequential aldol reactions and then subsequently reduced in a crossed Cannizarro reaction with formaldehyde to produce Pentaerythritol.
Production Process:
CHARMOR PM40 is a multifunctional alcohol produced through chemical reactions.
The production process can be examined in two main categories: Synthetic routes and industrial scale methods.
Synthetic Pathways:
CHARMOR PM40 is produced synthetically by aldol condensation of aldehydes such as formaldehyde and acetaldehyde.
This reaction essentially occurs when four moles of formaldehyde and one mole of acetaldehyde interact in the presence of a catalyst.
Industrial Scale Methods:
Industrial-scale production of CHARMOR PM40 involves processes that occur under high temperature and pressure.
Reactor parameters:
Temperature: 120-150°C
Pressure: 2-5 bar
Reaction Process:
Catalyst (usually sodium hydroxide)
Reaction time: Generally between 5-8 hours
These methods are generally optimized to increase the purity and yield of pentaerythritol.
Following the reaction, CHARMOR PM40 goes through purification steps to increase purity.
Synthesis of CHARMOR PM40:
CHARMOR PM40 was first reported in 1891 by German chemist Bernhard Tollens and his student P. Wigand.
CHARMOR PM40 may be prepared via a base-catalyzed multiple-addition reaction between acetaldehyde and 3 equivalents of formaldehyde to give pentaerythrose, followed by a Cannizzaro reaction with a fourth equivalent of formaldehyde to give the final product plus formate ion.
