Description

Phthalic Anhydride (PA) is a vital organic compound serving as a key intermediate in chemical manufacturing. This white crystalline substance, with molecular formula C8H4O3 (CAS No. 85-44-9), is produced to exceptional purity standards of ≥99.5%, ensuring reliable performance across all applications. Available in 25kg bags for flexible operations or 500kg bulk bags for industrial-scale production, our PA meets diverse manufacturing needs.

PA's primary role is in plasticizer production, particularly for manufacturing phthalate esters like DOP that make PVC products flexible and durable. These plasticizers are essential in medical devices, automotive parts, cable insulation, and flooring materials. Additionally, PA is crucial for producing unsaturated polyester resins used in fiberglass and composite materials, as well as alkyd resins that form the basis of high-performance paints and coatings. The compound also serves in manufacturing dyes, pigments, and pharmaceutical intermediates.

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.

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.
