The much lower cost of mannitol and erythritol makes pentaerythritol unattractive for the cash-strapped amateur!

Nice find, but for an amateur interested in energetic materials (I'm not!), it is probably better just to use ETN. But it could come in handy for other experiments, (although I am not sure of any) I am sure there are some.

Always nice to see other suppliers but at the price you are selling your pentaerythritol for is very high.

Including shipping to the UK you are charging £118.47/kg.

"Other" suppliers sell pentaerythritol for £13.26/kg, and they already have substantial profit margins.

I also agree with hissingnoise, for explosives you might as well buy mannitol or erythritol, at least they are dual use substances and the purchase can always be disguised as a sugar substitute order - buy it with some fat blocker and weight loss pills, lol :D.

With pentaerythritol there is pretty much only one use for an amateur scientist.... ;)
