    Product Overview

    What is Para Nitrotoluene Ortho Sulphonic Acid?

    Para Nitrotoluene Ortho Sulphonic Acid (4-nitrotoluene-2-sulfonic acid, PNTOSA) is the sulfonated derivative of Para Nitrotoluene, supplied as a pale yellow to off-white crystalline solid that dissolves readily in water. It is a key early intermediate in the stilbene chemistry that leads to optical brighteners.

    Typical uses are as the starting material for 4,4′-diaminostilbene-2,2′-disulfonic acid (DSD acid), for fluorescent whitening agents used in detergents, paper and textiles, for direct and stilbene dyes, and in specialty chemical synthesis.

    As an established chemical supplier in the UAE, Chelora Chemicals sources Para Nitrotoluene Ortho Sulphonic Acid from approved manufacturers with consistent purity and controlled colour, 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.
