As an epoxy resin curing agent, the market size of methylhexahydrophthalic anhydride (MHHPA) continues to expand.

Methyl hexahydrophthalic anhydride (MHHPA), also known as methyl hexahydrophthalic anhydride and methyl hexahydrophthalic anhydride, has a molecular formula of C9H12O3 and is an organic compound. Methyl hexahydrophthalic anhydride appears as a colorless and transparent liquid and can be dissolved in organic solvents such as carbon tetrachloride, benzene, ethanol, acetone, and toluene. Methyl hexahydrophthalic anhydride has the characteristics of hygroscopicity, low melting point, good high-temperature electrical properties, and high heat resistance of the cured product. It is widely used in electronic and electrical, automobile manufacturing, construction engineering and other fields.

Methyltetrahydrophthalic anhydride (MTHPA) is the core raw material of methylhexahydrophthalic anhydride. Methyltetrahydrophthalic anhydride has the characteristics of good chemical stability, high purity, and low viscosity, and has broad application prospects in chemical industry, medicine, pesticides, insulation materials and other fields. In recent years, with technological advancement, my country’s methyltetrahydrophenic anhydride production capacity has continued to expand, reaching nearly 100,000 tons in 2022. The sufficient supply of raw materials provides favorable conditions for the development of my country’s methyl hexahydrophthalic anhydride industry.
