Trimellitic anhydride (TMA) is a cyclic organic compound synthesized via the oxidation of 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene. It serves as a critical intermediate for high-performance resins. Its molecular formula is C9H6O5 with CAS number 552-30-7.
Strictly avoid inhalation of dust; wear respiratory protection. Store in cool, dry, ventilated areas away from moisture to prevent hydrolysis into trimellitic acid. Do not use in direct food contact applications without specific regulatory approval.
