2,6-Naphthalene Dicarboxylic Acid
2,6-Naphthalene Dicarboxylic Acid is a named chemical substance, salt or derivative supplied within an identified composition specification.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
2,6-Naphthalene dicarboxylic acid (CAS 1141-38-4) is an organic compound with the formula C10H6(CO2H)2. It is colorless solid and one of several isomers of naphthalenedicarboxylic acid. It is a precursor to the high performance polyester polyethylene naphthalate (PEN, poly (ethylene-2, 6-naphthalene dicarboxylate)).
The full chemical identity, positional or stereochemical form, assay and carrier define the supplied material. An acid, its salt and a formulated downstream product should not be treated as identical transactions.
The commercial boundary
Use the selected edition’s stated product level, geography, years and measurement basis. Materials, components, finished systems and services are separate commercial boundaries unless that edition explicitly combines them.
Which full identity and supplied form define this chemical?
The full chemical identity, positional or stereochemical form, assay and carrier define the supplied material. An acid, its salt and a formulated downstream product should not be treated as identical transactions.
