What is purified terephthalic acid used for? Application of purified terephthalic acid

Pure terephthalic acid is an important raw material for synthetic coatings and paints. The polyester resin produced has high transparency and glossiness, as well as strong water resistance and chemical corrosion resistance.

2. Application in plastics industry

Pure terephthalic acid can be copolymerized with compounds such as malonic acid esters to produce high molecular polymers, which can be used to produce PET bottles, plastic films and other products.

3. Application in pharmaceutical industry

Pure terephthalic acid can be used to synthesize intermediates for certain drugs and has broad application prospects.

At present, the global purified terephthalic acid market shows a steady growth trend, mainly driven by the demand of coatings and paints, plastics, pharmaceuticals and other industries. Among them, the Asia-Pacific region is the world's largest purified terephthalic acid market, accounting for more than two-thirds of the global market.
