Erythritol is a low-molecular-weight polyol commonly applied in the chemical industry due to its favorable thermal and chemical stability. It exhibits high water solubility and non-volatility, making it suitable for applications in polymer chemistry and industrial formulations where inert, non-reactive carriers or humectants are required.

Applications
Chemical Industry: Used as a humectant and stabilizing agent in formulations requiring non-volatile polyhydroxy compounds.
Polymer Science: Involved in the synthesis of polyesters and biodegradable polymers through esterification or cross-linking with dicarboxylic acids.
Industrial Processing: Serves as a benign solvent or dispersing aid in the formulation of coatings, adhesives, and technical additives.
