Purified IsoPhthalic Acid

Isophthalic acid (IPA) is a non-toxic organic compound with the chemical formula C8H6O4. This colorless solid is an isomer of both phthalic acid and terephthalic acid. As aromatic carboxylic acids, they serve as precursors, in the form of acyl chlorides, for industrially significant polymers. Isophthalic acid exhibits slight solubility in water, alcohol, and acetic acid but is insoluble in benzene.

Applications of Purified IsoPhthalic Acid

• Polyester Resins: Purified isophthalic acid is a key raw material in the production of high-performance unsaturated polyester resins (UPRs). These resins are used in composite materials, such as fiberglass-reinforced plastics (FRP), for applications in construction, automotive, marine, and aerospace industries. Purified isophthalic acid improves the mechanical properties, chemical resistance, and weatherability of UPRs compared to orthophthalic acid.
• Coatings and Paints: It is utilized in the formulation of specialty coatings and paints for corrosion-resistant applications. Purified isophthalic acid-based coatings provide enhanced adhesion, durability, and chemical resistance, making them suitable for use in industrial, marine, and architectural coatings.
• Engineering Plastics: Purified isophthalic acid is used in the production of engineering plastics, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). These plastics exhibit excellent mechanical properties, dimensional stability, and heat resistance, making them suitable for applications in automotive, electrical, and consumer goods industries.
• Adhesives and Sealants: It serves as a cross-linking agent in the formulation of adhesives and sealants, providing improved bonding strength, chemical resistance, and heat resistance. Purified isophthalic acid-based adhesives and sealants are used in construction, automotive, aerospace, and electronics industries.
• Textile Fibers: Purified isophthalic acid is used in the production of specialty textile fibers, such as polyester fibers, for applications in apparel, home textiles, and industrial textiles. These fibers offer enhanced strength, durability, and wrinkle resistance compared to natural fibers.
• Thermosetting Plastics: It is employed in the manufacture of thermosetting plastics, such as alkyd resins and epoxy resins. Purified isophthalic acid improves the thermal stability, chemical resistance, and mechanical properties of thermosetting plastics, making them suitable for use in coatings, adhesives, and composite materials.
