Product Description: Disodium terephthalate belongs to the class of organic salts. It is commonly used as a catalyst or intermediate in the production of a variety of industrial and consumer products, including polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastics, polyester fibers and films. Disodium terephthalate has excellent thermal stability, chemical resistance and mechanical properties, making it ideal for high performance applications. Additionally, it is non-toxic, non-flammable and environmentally friendly, making it an attractive alternative to other petroleum-based chemicals. In the food and pharmaceutical industries, Disodium terephthalate is used as a pH regulator and buffer. It is generally considered safe for use in food and pharmaceutical applications by regulatory agencies such as the FDA.
