In early August, Pentaerythritol (PENT) demand in the North American region stayed steady, supported by consistent buying from the paints and coatings industry for alkyd resins and durable finishes, as well as stable offtake from the cosmetics sector driven by online sales and personal care demand. Supply conditions were moderate but stable, with reliable feedstock availability and firm export flows to key regions. Balanced demand and supply kept the market firm, while expectations of stronger coatings demand, possible weather-related disruptions, and higher energy costs pointed toward further price strength in the coming weeks.
