Phthalic acid Usage
Used in the synthesis of polyester resin, polyester and drugs.
Used in the manufacture of dyes and plasticizers, etc.
Since phthalic acid and phthalic anhydride have similar chemical properties, industry often produces phthalic anhydride directly. Phthalic anhydride can be used instead of phthalic acid in applications
