Trimellitic anhydride is a low-molecular-weight, reactive chemical used in the manufacture of plastics.
TMA is used in the synthesis of plasticizers that are in turn compounded with PVC to make flexible plastic products such as automotive dashboards and coatings for electrical wire and cable. TMA is also used in polyester resin in products used in military, industrial and aerospace applications. Many of the epoxy resin and surface coating systems may contain 2-10% reacted TMA within the polymer. Coatings on the inside of tin cans used for foodstuffs contain up to 0.04% reacted TMA within the polymer.
In China, about 50% of TMA is used in plasticizer, 40% for the manufacture of polyester resin, 10% for the manufacture of advanced insulation materials, high temperature curing agents.
It is forecast that Global Trimellitic Anhydride market will reach 560 million USD in 2018
