What are the key application trends for cis-1,2,3,6-tetrahydrophthalic anhydride?
The electronics application is a bright spot, but don't overlook the impact of China's push for biodegradable plastics. THPA can be used as an intermediate in producing certain biodegradable polyesters. If PBAT/PBS capacity ramps up as planned, it could create unexpected demand pull for maleic anhydride derivatives, indirectly supporting THPA prices.
