Phthalic anhydride
Phthalic anhydride is the organic compound with the formula C6H4(CO)2O. It is the anhydride of phthalic acid. This colourless
solid is an important industrial chemical, especially for the large-scale production of plasticizers for plastics.
Phthalic anhydride is an important chemical intermediate in the plastics industry from which are derived numerous phthalate esters
that function as plasticizers in synthetic resins. Phthalic anhydride itself is used as a monomer for synthetic resins such as
glyptal, the alkyd resins, and the polyester resins.
