Factory and Activities
Why Choose Bastone PA (Phthalic Anhydride)?
High Purity for Consistent Results
Phthalic Anhydride production at our facility employs advanced oxidation technology, converting o-xylene or naphthalene into high-purity PA through carefully controlled catalytic processes. This precision manufacturing ensures consistent molecular structure and minimal impurities, resulting in PA that exceeds 99.5% purity standards required for demanding industrial applications.
Our quality control system monitors PA production at every stage, from raw material inspection through final packaging. Each batch undergoes comprehensive testing including purity analysis, moisture content verification, and color assessment to guarantee that our Phthalic Anhydride meets strict specifications. This rigorous approach ensures your downstream products maintain consistent quality and performance.
Technical Support & Supply Partnership
BASTONE's technical expertise in Phthalic Anhydride extends beyond manufacturing to comprehensive customer support. Our chemists and engineers assist with PA application optimization, helping you achieve maximum efficiency in plasticizer production, resin synthesis, or specialty chemical manufacturing. We provide detailed technical specifications, reactivity data, and process recommendations tailored to your specific PA applications.
As your PA supply partner, we maintain strategic inventory levels to ensure uninterrupted availability of Phthalic Anhydride for your operations. Our logistics network coordinates timely deliveries while our customer service team provides real-time updates on orders and shipments. This integrated approach to PA supply means you can focus on production while we handle the complexities of chemical sourcing and delivery.
Storage & Handling Guidelines
Proper storage of Phthalic Anhydride is critical for maintaining its chemical integrity and ensuring workplace safety. PA should be stored in cool, dry conditions away from moisture, as it readily absorbs water to form phthalic acid. Our packaging—whether 25kg or 500kg bags—features moisture-resistant liners that protect PA during storage and transportation, preserving its crystalline form and reactivity.
When handling Phthalic Anhydride, implementing appropriate safety measures ensures smooth operations. PA's sublimation properties require adequate ventilation in storage and processing areas. Our technical team provides comprehensive handling guidelines and safety data sheets, helping you establish proper protocols for PA storage, material transfer, and processing to maximize product shelf life and operational safety.
Industrial Applications & Performance
Phthalic Anhydride serves as the foundational chemical for producing over 60% of global plasticizers, with DOP and DINP being the most common derivatives. When PA reacts with alcohols, it creates phthalate esters that transform rigid PVC into flexible materials essential for wire coatings, medical tubing, and automotive interiors. The quality of PA directly impacts plasticizer efficiency and the mechanical properties of final PVC products.
In resin manufacturing, PA enables the production of unsaturated polyester resins with excellent mechanical strength and chemical resistance. These PA-based resins are crucial for fiberglass reinforced plastics, marine applications, and construction materials. Additionally, Phthalic Anhydride forms alkyd resins that provide superior adhesion and durability in industrial coatings, making it indispensable for paint and coating manufacturers.
