Chelora Chemicals UAE supplies Purified Terephthalic Acid (CAS 100-21-0) to manufacturers, processors and specialty producers across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and all seven Emirates, with batch-wise COA, sealed packing and fast GCC delivery.
Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) is a white crystalline aromatic diacid and, together with MEG, the principal raw material for the global polyester (PET) industry.
Typical uses are as the raw material for PET fiber and resin production, polyester films, bottle-grade resin and selected engineering plastic formulations.
As an established chemical supplier in the UAE, Chelora Chemicals sources Purified Terephthalic Acid from approved manufacturers with consistent quality and controlled specification, and delivers it to customers in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain, as well as export customers in Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Africa and South Asia.
