Pyromellitic Dianhydride

Pyromellitic Dianhydride (PMDA, CAS 89-32-7) is a white crystalline powder with molecular formula C₁₀H₂O₆ and molecular weight 218.12. It is a highly reactive acid anhydride that hydrolyzes to pyromellitic acid when exposed to moisture. PMDA is widely used as a key monomer in the production of high-performance polymers and coatings due to its excellent thermal stability, mechanical properties, and oxidative resistance.

Key Applications
  • 1. Polyimide Production
  • PMDA is the primary monomer for synthesizing polyimide polymers and films, accounting for approximately 93% of its market usage. These polyimides exhibit exceptional thermal stability, mechanical strength, and self-extinguishing properties, making them ideal for flexible displays, printed circuit boards, and high-temperature electrical insulation materials.
  • 2. Epoxy Resin Curing Agent
  • As a curing agent for epoxy resins, PMDA enhances the thermal and mechanical properties of adhesives, coatings, and molding powders. The cured products achieve glass transition temperatures up to 300°C, with thermal deformation temperatures reaching 200-250°C, making them suitable for high-performance electrical insulation applications.
  • 3. Polyester Resin Crosslinking
  • PMDA acts as an effective crosslinking agent for polyester resins, improving their mechanical strength, thermal stability, and chemical resistance. This application is particularly valuable in powder coatings, adhesives, and composite materials requiring enhanced performance characteristics.
  • 4. Plasticizer Production
  • PMDA reacts with alcohols to produce heat-resistant plasticizers for PVC cables and medical-grade plastics. These plasticizers offer superior thermal stability compared to conventional phthalate-based alternatives, making them suitable for high-temperature applications.
  • 5. Surfactants and Emulsifiers
  • PMDA is used in the synthesis of biodegradable "green" surfactants and emulsifiers. These compounds find applications in personal care products, detergents, and industrial formulations where environmental compatibility is a priority.
  • 6. High-Performance Coatings
  • Due to its excellent mechanical, thermal, and oxidative stability properties, PMDA is employed in the preparation of high-performance coatings for electrical insulation, powder coatings, and advanced coating systems. These coatings offer superior protection and durability in demanding environments
