The most important function of phthalic anhydride is to address the problem of moldability of PVC, curing of coatings, and surface protection. It finds its application in various industries that include dyes & pigments, chemical intermediates, flame retardants, herbicides, and insecticides apart from its use in traditional industries such as plastics, construction, automobile, and paints & coatings. However, due to environmental regulations in European and North American regions, the focus of the end-use applicators is to reduce the leaching of phthalic anhydride into the atmosphere or shift to an alternate feedstock. Although the highest growth is expected in alkyd resins application of phthalic anhydride, plasticizers will be by far its largest application.
