What Does Phthalic Acid Mean?
Phthalic acid (PA) is chemical substance that is an aromatic dicarboxylic acid, with the chemical formula C6H4(COOH)2. It is used primarily to make corrosion inhibitors that are applied to metal substrate surfaces.
Phthalic acid (PA) is chemical substance that is an aromatic dicarboxylic acid, with the chemical formula C6H4(COOH)2. It is used primarily to make corrosion inhibitors that are applied to metal substrate surfaces.
Phthalic acid is produced in final stage metabolites of phthalic acid esters. It interacts with magnesium oxide films to generate the following inhibitor mechanisms on a substrate metal to be protected:
Care should be taken when handling phthalic acid as it is highly corrosive and may cause irritation to human skin, eyes and respiratory tracts.
