Properties：THPA is a white flake solid. Soluble in general organic solvents, slightly soluble in petroleum ether. Melting point: 100℃, Density 1.35g/ml.

Uses：THPA is an excellent curing agent of epoxy resin. It is commonly used as a modifier of unsaturated polyester resin and alkyd resin. It can improve the adhesion, elasticity, gloss and water resistance of coatings. As a plasticizer, it can improve the cold resistance and heat resistance of PVC, and is non-toxic. THPA is also an important intermediate in the synthesis of pesticides and pharmaceuticals.

Storage：Store in a cool, ventilated, moisture-proof and light-proof place. Keep container sealed and away from fire.

Packing：25kg plastic woven bag, or 500kg jumbo bag
