Phthalic Anhydride (PAN)

Phthalic Anhydride is a highly versatile chemical compound with various industrial applications. Its primary use is in the production of alkyd resins, which are widely used in paints and varnishes. It is also used in the production of esters such as DOP, DIOP, DNP, and DIDP, which are among the most widely accepted plasticizers for PVC products. Phthalic Anhydride is a crucial ingredient in the production of dye intermediates and pigments. Anthraquinone and its derivatives find use in dyes, while phthalocyanines are used as coloring agents in laminates, varnish, printing ink, and plastic industries. Tetrachloro Phthalic Anhydride, derived from phthalic anhydride, is used in the production of intermediates for fire retardants in unsaturated polyesters. Phthalic Anhydride is a versatile compound that finds widespread use in various industrial processes.
