3,4,9,10-Perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride is an important raw material and intermediate used in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It is mainly used in air dried and baking enamels, epoxy, polyurethane and polyester based paints. It is also used in printing inks for bank and security documents.
Perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) is a perylene derivative which forms highly crystalline films and dyes that can be used for a majority of electronic and opto-electronic applications. It provides a high electron mobility due to its low intermolecular distance which results in π-π conjugation.
