TAHQ CAS 2770-49-2 for Polyimide and Poly(ester imide) Synthesis
1,4-Phenylene bis(1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydroisobenzofuran-5-carboxylate), also known as p-phenylenebis(trimellitate anhydride) or TAHQ, is a ester-containing aromatic dianhydride monomer used as a structural building block in high-performance polyimide, poly(ester imide) and specialty polymer synthesis. Its para-linked phenylene core, ester linkages and multifunctional anhydride structure make TAHQ relevant to polymer systems where dimensional stability, thermal resistance, dielectric behavior, moisture control and mechanical performance need to be balanced.
Basic Information of TAHQ
Key Features in Polyimide Design
Ester-containing aromatic dianhydride structure, relevant to specialty polyimide dianhydride monomers and poly(ester imide) material design.
Para-linked phenylene structure may support dimensional stability and low-CTE polymer design depending on the paired diamine and polymer architecture.
Ester linkages and aromatic anhydride functionality may help balance rigidity, processability and thermal performance in selected polyimide systems.
TAHQ can be considered in electronics and microelectronics polyimide applications where insulation, dielectric behavior and dimensional reliability are important.
Final material properties depend on dianhydride purity, diamine selection, solvent system, imidization conditions and polymer processing method.
Pairing TAHQ with Diamine Monomers
In polyimide synthesis, TAHQ may be evaluated with selected polyimide diamine monomers supply portfolio to design electronic-grade, optical, low-CTE and specialty PI systems. Fluorinated diamines such as TFMB / TFDB CAS 341-58-2 may be considered when optical, dielectric or moisture-related properties are part of the target polymer design.
Ether-containing diamines such as BAPP CAS 13080-86-9 or TPE-Q CAS 3491-12-1 may help adjust processability and film-forming behavior, while rigid aromatic diamines may be selected when dimensional stability and thermal resistance are more important.
Application Context of TAHQ in Polyimide Systems
TAHQ is typically used as a structural dianhydride monomer rather than a finished application material. It is commonly discussed in electronic-grade, optical, low-CTE, high-temperature and specialty polyimide material development, where para-phenylene rigidity and ester-containing dianhydride structure can influence polymer performance.
