High-Purity Phthalic Anhydride (PA) – Essential Chemical Intermediate for Plasticizers, Resins & Dyes
We are a leading global supplier of Phthalic Anhydride (PA), a key industrial organic compound and fundamental building block for the production of plasticizers, unsaturated polyester resins, alkyd resins, and dye intermediates. Supplied in high-purity flake or molten form, our PA meets stringent quality standards for large-scale chemical manufacturing.
KEY APPLICATIONS FOR BULK BUYERS:
-
Plasticizer Production: Primary feedstock for manufacturing phthalate plasticizers such as DOP, DINP, and DIDP, used to impart flexibility to PVC products including cables, flooring, films, and synthetic leather.
-
Unsaturated Polyester Resins (UPR): Critical raw material in the production of fiberglass-reinforced plastics (FRP) for marine, automotive, construction, and sanitaryware applications.
-
Alkyd Resins: Used in the synthesis of alkyd resins for industrial and decorative paints, coatings, and varnishes, providing durability and gloss.
-
Dye & Pigment Intermediates: Intermediate in the production of anthraquinone dyes, phthalein dyes, and pigments for textiles, inks, and plastics.
-
Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of certain pharmaceutical compounds and active ingredients.
-
Flame Retardants: Component in the manufacture of halogen-free flame retardants for polymers and engineering plastics.
