Phthalic anhydride pure [85-44-9]

Phthalic anhydride pure [85-44-9]
Phthalic anhydride is used for the production of plasticizers and fillers for polymers and dyes. As a result of condensation with phenol, it forms phenolphthalein, used as an acid-base indicator. An important application is the production of anthraquinone and its derivatives.
