- Isophthalic acid, or
benzene-1,3-dicarboxylic acid, is an aromatic dicarboxylic acid, with
formula C6H4(COOH)2.
- Isophthalic acid is
an isomer of phthalic acid and terephthalic acid. Isophthalic acid melts
above 300°.
- Isophthalic acid can
be obtained by oxidizing meta-xylene with chromic acid, or by fusing
potassium meta-sulphobenzoate, or meta-brombenzoate
with potassium
formate.
- Uvitic acid,
5-methylisophthalic acid, is obtained by oxidizing mesitylene or by
condensing pyroracemic acid with baryta water.
- Polyester resins
containing PIA exhibit excellent outdoor weathering relative to those
containing phthalic anhydride and terephthalic acid.
- The excellent
hardness and high glass transition temperature imparted by PIA leads to
improved chemical, stain, humidity, and corrosion resistance required in
coatings for industrial maintenance, automotive, aerospace, general
metal and coil coating applications.
- Powder coatings
formulated with PIA are used in exterior applications such as patio
furniture, lawn mowers, vending machines, and automotive parts.
- One of the largest
applications for PIA is in unsaturated polyester resins for high-quality
gel coats.
- The hardness, stain
and detergent resistance characteristics of PIA are ideal for polyester
solid-surface countertops that are an inexpensive alternative to
acrylics.
