2,6-Dimethylterephthalic acid（Cat No.:M155230） is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C10H10O4. It is a derivative of terephthalic acid, with methyl groups attached to the 2 and 6 positions of the benzene ring. This compound is used in the production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin, a common polymer used in fibers for clothing, containers for liquids and foods, and other applications. The presence of the methyl groups in 2,6-dimethyl terephthalic acid alters the properties of the PET resin, making it more resistant to heat and chemicals compared to PET produced from terephthalic acid.
