Dimethyl Terephthalate Market : Opportunities, Demand and Forecasts, 2015-2015
Verfasser: ShashiiPawar on Thursday, 25 May 2017Dimethyl terephthalate, also known as dimethyl 1, 4-benzenedicarboxylate is used as a feedstock in production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). Dimethyl terephthalate also assists in production of other chemicals like benzocaine, terephthalohydroxamic acid, terephthaldehyde, and terephthalamide, etc. Dimethyl terephthalate plays a vital role in the manufacture of polyesters including polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Dimethyl terephthalate also finds use in the fabrication of polyester resins for varnishes, films, and adhesives.
The dimethyl terephthalate market has been gradually reducing over the span of last few years owing to the presence of substitutes which are more economical. Over 90% of global consumption of dimethyl terephthalate is in the production of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) chips.
