Product Specifications

Phthalic Acid is an aromatic organic compound with the chemical formula C₈H₆O₄ and CAS Number 88-99-3. It has a molecular weight of approximately 166.13 g/mol and is commonly supplied as a white crystalline powder or crystals. It has limited solubility in water and is soluble in selected organic solvents.

Phthalic Acid is valued for its versatility in organic chemistry and chemical manufacturing. Common laboratory applications include organic synthesis, preparation of phthalate derivatives, analytical chemistry procedures, chemical research, and studies involving aromatic dicarboxylic acids. It is also used as a chemical intermediate in the production of specialised resins, dyes, and other industrial chemical formulations.

Its aromatic structure and two carboxylic acid functional groups make Phthalic Acid useful in organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, and general laboratory research. The appropriate grade and purity should be selected according to the requirements of the intended application.

KSFE Malaysia supplies laboratory chemicals and scientific products for research institutions, educational facilities, and general laboratory applications.

Safety Note: Phthalic Acid may cause skin irritation, serious eye irritation, and respiratory irritation if dust is inhaled. Avoid unnecessary inhalation of dust and direct contact with the eyes and skin. Wear suitable personal protective equipment, including safety goggles, protective gloves, and appropriate laboratory clothing. Handle in a well-ventilated area and minimise dust generation. Avoid contact with strong oxidising agents and incompatible chemicals. Store in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry place, away from excessive heat and incompatible substances. Follow the supplier's Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for proper handling, storage, and disposal.
