Isophthalic acid [ CAS# 121-91-5 ], also known as Benzene-1,3-Dicarboxylic Acid, is typically used as a chemical intermediate for industrial manufacturing purposes; specifically, the production of a variety of different types of polymer resins and plastics. One type of resin that is produced using isophthalic acid is unsaturated polyester resin, which is used in a variety of industrial, automotive, and aerospace products. When manufactured utilizing isophthalic acid, these materials often demonstrate a high degree of durability, stain resistance, and compatibility to temperature changes. Isophthalic acid is also used in the production of plastics like PET in order to reduce its crystallinity. The isophthalic acid is considered to help to improve the clarity of the plastic, thus improving bottle-making processes. When used in the manufacture of surface coating resins, isophthalic acid is suggested to increase the material’s resistance to water, weathering, and overall durability.
Parchem – fine & specialty chemicals is proud to be able to provide high-quality isophthalic acid to our customers from our network of warehouses spread across the United States.
