Product overview
Tetrahydrophthalic Anhydride is a specialty cyclic anhydride evaluated as an epoxy hardener, polyester-resin intermediate and raw material for solvent-free coatings, adhesives and selected agrochemicals. Final curing performance depends on grade and formulation testing.
Function & Usage
- Provide Solvency, Carrying & Spreading
Provides solvency, carrying, spreading, evaporation or fixative performance according to the selected specialty material. Typical uses: Epoxy-resin curing systems, Unsaturated polyester resins, Solvent-free coatings and adhesives.
- Build Agrochemical Intermediates
Provides a selected synthesis building block for crop-protection intermediates or custom agrochemical routes; route fit and end-use authorization require technical review. Typical uses: Epoxy-resin curing systems, Unsaturated polyester resins, Solvent-free coatings and adhesives.
