Terephthalic acid, 10 kg

Terephthalic Acid is commonly employed in research and production environments due to its versatile chemical structure. This organic compound, identified as C8H6O4 with a molecular weight of 166.13, exhibits a Melting Point range of 210.0 to 211.1°C, at which it begins to decompose. It does not have a defined Boiling Point as it decomposes before reaching that temperature. This product, specifically, is offered in a 10 kg pack, making it suitable for larger-scale applications. Handling requires adherence to standard safety protocols, including the use of personal protective equipment, as denoted by the Danger signal word. Terephthalic Acid belongs to the Carboxylic acids substance group.
