Informação sobre produto

• Nome: Diethyl terephthalate
• Sinónimos: Terephthalic acid diethyl ester
• Marca: Biosynth
• Descrição: Diethyl terephthalate is a liquid that belongs to the group of phthalic acids. It is used in the production of polyesters, including polyethylene terephthalate (PET) for plastic bottles and fibers for clothing. Diethyl terephthalate is also used as a solvent in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, dyes, and perfumes. The bacterium Pseudomonas putida has been found to metabolize this compound into protocatechuic acid, water vapor, and hydrogen tartrate under aerobic conditions. The redox potential of this chemical is -0.37 volts. This means that it can be oxidized by electrons from an external source or reduced by electrons from an external source. The fatty acid moiety on diethyl terephthalate makes it susceptible to microbial metabolism such as hydroxylation reactions and oxidation reactions with oxygen gas molecules or water vapor molecules. These reactions are part of the biological properties of this chemical
