Product Name:Terephthalic acid
Molecular format:C8H6O4
CAS No:100-21-0
Product molecular structure:
Chemical Properties:
Terephthalic acid is poorly soluble in water and alcohols, consequently up until around 1970 most crude terephthalic acid was converted to the dimethyl ester for purification. It sublimates when heated.
white powder
Application:
Terephthalic acid (TPA) is a high-tonnage chemical, widely used in the production of synthetic materials, notably polyester fibers (poly-(ethylene terephthalate)).
Terephthalic acid is a benzenepolycarboxylic acid with potential anti-hemorrhagic properties.
1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid is mainly used for the production of poly (ethylene terephthalate). Also production of plasticizer dioctyl phthalate (DOTP) and polyester plasticized agents. 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid and polyhydric alcohols have a condensation reaction withd iethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, glycerol, propylene glycol, butylene glycol, etc. preparation of the polyester plasticizer.
