description Product Description
Used primarily in the production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) for manufacturing plastic bottles, films, and textile fibers. It serves as a key monomer in polyester resins due to its ability to enhance durability, clarity, and resistance to chemicals. Also employed in coatings and as a cross-linking agent in thermosetting polymers. Its low volatility makes it suitable for high-temperature processing in polymer synthesis.
