Terephthalic Acid PTA INTRODUCTION Terephthalic acid (TA) is a colorless to white crystalline solid nearly insoluble in water and alcohols. It is also known as para-phthalic acid and almost all of its production is consumed in processing polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a polymer used essentially in the production of plastic bottle and clothing. The two most common grades of terephthalic acid commercially available are: Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) which contains over weight percent TA and less than 25 ppm 4 carboxibenzaldehyde (4-CBA) - see Section 3 for further details.
PTA (and its methyl ester DMT) is primarily used to produce polyester (PET), as exemplified in the figure below. West European PTA Consumption
