Dimethyl Terephthalate (DMT), also known as 1,4-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, dimethyl ester, is an organic, aromatic compound and a member of the diester family. Supplied by Actylis as a white to off-white solid or a colorless liquid when heated, it is fairly insoluble in water and odorless. DMT is widely used across various industries, primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of chemical compounds. It is also a key raw material and reagent in the coating industry, particularly in the production of polyester resins like polyethylene terephthalate. These resins are used in the textile industry for manufacturing fibers, which are further utilized in producing food and drink containers.
