Trimellitic anhydride is a trifunctional, highly reactive aromatic anhydride.
Trimellitic Acid Anhydride is a white crystal, solubility: Water、Ethanol、Easily soluble to acetone.
Trimellitic Acid Anhydride is used as applications such as insulating materials and heat-resistant plasticizers to provide high heat resistance. It also imparts water suspension and resistance to water-based paint resins and enhances reactivity to shorten processing time.
Trimellitic Acid Anhydride can be applied to the following areas:
Polyimide-based resin
Epoxy resin curing agent
Varnish
Toner binder
Plasticizer
Trimellitic Acid Anhydride causes both respiratory irritation and immunologic respiratory disease.
Trimellitic Acid Anhydride reacts exothermically with water. This reaction is expected to be slow, but can become vigorous if local heating accelerates it. Reaction with water is accelerated by acids. Incompatible with acids, strong oxidizing agents, alcohols, amines, and bases. Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, strong acids or strong bases.
