Phthalic Acid | 88-99-3

Description :

Overview of Phthalic Acid

Phthalic Acid (CAS: 88-99-3) is an aromatic dicarboxylic acid widely used in the Plastic & Rubber Chemicals industry as a key intermediate for plasticizers, resins, and polymer production. It appears as a white crystalline solid and is primarily derived from the oxidation of naphthalene or o-xylene.

Phthalic Acid is an important raw material in the manufacture of phthalate esters, which are extensively used to improve flexibility, durability, and processing properties of plastics and rubber products. It also plays a significant role in the production of alkyd resins, polyester resins, and coatings.

In industrial applications, Phthalic Acid is known for its high purity, consistent particle size, and compatibility with other chemical intermediates. It is commonly used alongside Phthalic Anhydride, Terephthalic Acid, and Maleic Anhydride, available on ChemicalBull, providing reliable sourcing for manufacturers of resins, plasticizers, and fine chemicals.
