Description

Overview of Mono-Methyl Terephthalate

Monomethyl terephthalate is a common organic compound with the chemical formula C9H8O4.It is a product obtained by the reaction of terephthalic acid and methanol.It is a colorless liquid with low volatility at room temperature. It is irritating and requires operation in a ventilated area. This compound is widely used as an intermediate in the production of polyester fibers, films, plastics, plasticizers, adhesives and pesticides. Monomethyl terephthalate may be irritating to the skin, eyes and mucous membranes with prolonged or repeated exposure. In addition, monomethyl terephthalate may produce dimers during production, which are harmful to humans and may cause central nervous system toxicity, reproductive toxicity, and developmental toxicity.

Application of Mono-Methyl Terephthalate

Synthetic polyester resin:

Monomethylterephthalate is one of the essential raw materials for synthesizing polyester resins. Reacting with epoxy compounds such as caprolactam, high molecular weight polyester resins can be prepared to manufacture various plastics, fibers, and coatings. This polyester resin has excellent physical properties and chemical stability and is widely used in packaging materials, electrical accessories, automotive parts and other fields.

Solvent:

Monomethyl terephthalate can be used as a solvent, and due to its low volatility and good solubility, it can be used as a solvent component in products such as paint, ink, and glue, making these products more accessible. At the same time, it can also be used as an ingredient in spices and detergents, giving the product a unique odor and cleaning effect.

Plasticizers:

Monomethyl terephthalate is an important plasticizer raw material in the plastic industry. Due to its good solubility and plasticity, it is widely used as a plasticizer for polyester resins. This plasticizer can improve the flexibility and elasticity of polyester resin, making it more suitable for manufacturing various plastic products, such as soft PVC pipes, wire and cable sheaths, plastic films, etc. With the continuous development and growth of the plastic industry, the demand for Monomethylterephthalate is also increasing, so its application prospects in the plastic industry are extensive.
