Toluene Diisocyanate (TDI) CAS:584-84-9 Toluene Diisocyanate is produced by a 3 step reaction. The first step is the nitration of toluene to obtain dinitrotoluene. Second step is the catalytic hydrogenation of Dinitrotoluene into toluene diamine TDA. Finally, the TDA react with phosgene to produce the TDI. TDI is commonly sold under 3 different ratio isomeric […]

Benzoic Acid
CAS: 65-85-0
Benzoic Acid is a colorless crystalline solid with the chemical formula C7H6O2. It is the simplest aromatic carboxylic acid. Its salts are used as a food preservative and it is an important precursor for the synthesis of many other organic substances.
Benzoic Acid Chemical Structure Composition.
Production
Benzoic acid is produced industrially by partial oxidation of toluene with oxygen and the process is catalysed by V2O5.
Uses
Benzoic acid is mainly used as a chemical intermediate for synthesis of industrial chemicals such as phenol, caprolactam and glycol benzoates for the application of plasticizer in adhesive formulations. It’s also used in the manufacture of alkyd resins, drilling mud additive for crude oil recovery applications and as a rubber polymerization activator and retardant.
Benzoic acid converted to its salts and esters are used in food preservatives application, drugs, and personal products.
