Industrial Process Economics Reports About Isophthalic Acid Isophthalic Acid is a colorless solid aromatic dicarboxylic acid, isomer of phthalic acid and terephthalic acid. It is used as precursors to commercially important polymers, in the production of resins for drink plastic bottles, in the high-performance polymer polybenzimidazole production process, and as an important input to produce insulation materials.
