3-Methylphthalic Acid

CAS: 37102-74-2

3-Methylphthalic Acid is a chemical that is used in the production of polyvinyl chloride. It is produced by the dioxygenation of phthalic anhydride and methanol, which produces 3-methylphthalic acid as well as 1,1-dichloroethane. The chemical can be used as a surfactant in polyvinyl chloride and styrene production processes. 3-Methylphthalic Acid has been shown to have adverse health effects on laboratory animals, including polyvinyl chloride workers who are exposed to it for prolonged periods of time. The chemical can cause irritation and corrosion to skin and eyes, as well as damage to the liver and kidneys.
