Dimethyl terephthalate

Description:

Dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C10H10O4, commonly used as an intermediate in the production of polyesters, particularly polyethylene terephthalate (PET). It appears as a colorless, crystalline solid with a slightly sweet odor. DMT is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone but has limited solubility in water. The substance has a melting point typically around room temperature and a boiling point that is significantly higher, indicating its stability under normal conditions. DMT is produced through the esterification of terephthalic acid with methanol, and it can also be derived from renewable resources. It is important in the manufacturing of fibers, films, and bottles, contributing to the textile and packaging industries. While DMT is generally considered safe for use in industrial applications, it can be harmful if ingested or inhaled in significant quantities, necessitating proper handling and safety precautions.

Dimethyl Terephthalate

CAS: 120-61-6

Dimethyl terephthalate is a glycol ester that has been shown to inhibit the enzyme activity of both esterases and lipases, which can be used for wastewater treatment. This compound is also resistant to oxidation by catalysts such as hydrogen peroxide. The dimethyl terephthalate molecule is made up of two methyl groups (CH3) and two ethyl groups (C2H5) attached to a central carbon atom with four bonds. Dimethyl terephthalate is produced by reacting ethylene glycol with terephthalic acid in an esterification reaction. The addition of a catalyst can lead to an increase in the rate of this reaction. Methyl ethyl terephalate, an ester formed from the reaction between methyl alcohol and terephtalic acid, has been shown to produce high levels of ethanol and CO emissions when heated at high temperatures.
