Tetrahydrophthalic Anhydride, CAS 85-43-8 (CAS 935-79-5)
Tetrahydrophthalic Anhydride (THPA) is a cyclic acid anhydride widely used as an epoxy resin curing agent and specialty chemical intermediate. It is also known as 1,2,3,6-Tetrahydrophthalic Anhydride and is represented by the molecular formula C8H8O3.
THPA reacts with epoxy resins to form crosslinked thermosetting materials with good electrical insulation, thermal resistance and mechanical properties. It is particularly suitable for applications requiring stable electrical and dimensional performance.

Applications of Tetrahydrophthalic Anhydride
As an organic intermediate,THPA is usually used in the production of alkyd and unsaturated polyester resins,coatings and the curing agent for the epoxy resins,and also used in insecticides,sulfide regulator, plasticizers, surfactant, alkyd resin modifier,pesticides and the raw materials of pharmaceuticals.
As raw materials for the production of unsaturated polyester, THPA mainly improved the air-drying performance of resins.The performance is more obvious especially in the production of high-grade resin putty and air-drying coatings.
