Terephthalic-acid

product of hydrolysis of Polyethylene-terephthalate. Polyethylene terephthalate is the most common thermoplastic polymer resin of the polyester family and is used in fibers for clothing, containers for liquids and foods. Terephthalate(2-) is the dianion obtained by the deprotonation of the carboxy groups of terephthalic acid. Degradation of PET using hydrolytic enzymes leads to the release of hydrolysis products such as BHET (bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate), MHET (mono-(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalic acid), TPA (terephthalic acid) and EG (ethylene glycol)
