General description

Phthalic acid (PA, PTA), also called as 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid. It is the ortho form of the three phthalic acid isomers, the other two being isophthalic acid (meta form) and terephthalic acid (para form). PA is the starting material in the synthesis of plasticizers. A study on toxicity reveals that PA shows in vitro and in vivo toxicity. Its mineralization by photocatalysis using TiO2/UV system has been studied. It also is used as a potential tyrosinase inhibitor.

Application

Phthalic acid may be used as a catalyst for the thiocyanation of aromatics and heteroaromatics and as an interfacial protector for the preparation of ordered mesoporous γ-alumina. It may be used as a model compound in understanding the adsorption of aromatic carboxylic acids on gold surfaces.

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
