Tetrahydrophthalic Resins Features
Tetrahydrophthalic resins are characterized by the presence of tetrahydrophthalic anhydride (THPA) in the polymer chain. This raw material has a structure very similar to phthalic anhydride but is capable of imparting slightly superior chemical-physical properties.
Additionally, unlike phthalic anhydride, it has a reactive double bond that aids in the radical polymerization process.
- Production of flexible fillers and mastics: These resins, when properly additive, allow for the creation of flexible mastics and fillers that can be hardened using benzoyl peroxide.
- Abrasives and marble slab resin coating: They enable the production of excellent synthetic abrasives and the resin coating of marble slabs and other stone materials."
