1,3,5-Benzenetricarboxylic acid is used for the preparation of plastic, man-madefiber, water soluble alkyl resin, plasticizer and medicament intermediate. It is also used as a pharmaceutical intermediate, epoxy curing agent, plasticizers, adhesive and coating material. Further, it combines with para-hydroxypyridine to make a water-based gel.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
