What Does TMA Stand For?
TMA stands for Trimellitic Anhydride
TMA, or Trimellitic Anhydride, is an organic compound used primarily as a chemical intermediate in the manufacturing of resins, plasticizers, and coatings. It is derived from the dehydration of trimellitic acid and features a bicyclic anhydride structure. TMA is valued for its ability to enhance the thermal stability, chemical resistance, and mechanical properties of various materials, making it essential in industries such as automotive, construction, and electronics. Additionally, it serves as a curing agent in epoxy formulations and plays a significant role in the production of specialty polymers.
