Commercial Information
Storage & Shipping
Storage Conditions
Keep tightly closed in intact moisture-protective packaging in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid moisture, alcohols and strong oxidizing agents.
Packaging Integrity
Inspect carton closures and inner moisture-barrier bags before unloading. Retain product and lot labels, protect from puncture and water, and use dry equipment. Reseal opened packaging promptly.
Packaging
1 kg bags or 20 / 25 kg lined cartons
Handling & Protection
Provide effective local exhaust where powder is handled. Wear chemical-resistant gloves, splash goggles with face protection and suitable protective clothing. Prevent skin contact and dust inhalation; respiratory sensitization requires a workplace assessment and suitable particulate protection where needed.
What Is Pyromellitic Dianhydride?
Pyromellitic dianhydride, commonly abbreviated PMDA, is an aromatic dianhydride identified by CAS 89-32-7 and EC 201-898-9. Its formula is C10H2O6 and molecular weight is 218.12 g/mol. ZXCHEM supplies white crystalline, moisture-sensitive powder with assay ≥99.5%.
The local supply specification controls trimellitic acid, free acid, oil-insoluble matter, colour, residual acetone, halides, particle size and total metals. The melting interval is 286–287.5°C. Particle-size limits specify ≤5% above 500 µm and ≥95% above 80 µm; retain the stated cutoffs when comparing analysis.
PMDA is a monomer for technically controlled polyimide manufacture and can be evaluated in epoxy curing and polymer chain-extension chemistry. Relevant development areas include insulation films, fibres, coatings and adhesives. Select moisture and impurity limits against reaction control and the intended polymer properties; this listing does not guarantee finished-product electrical or flame-retardant performance.
Packing options are 1 kg bags or 20 / 25 kg lined cartons. Preserve closed moisture-protective packaging and use dry transfer equipment. The solid-substance reference is non-dangerous goods for transport, while its eye-damage and respiratory/skin-sensitization hazards require controlled dust handling and appropriate protective equipment.
