Thymolphthalein Market

Report Description
Thymolphthalein is an indicator to detect the acidic and basic nature of any solution and has
a transition range between 9.3-10.5, above this range the indicator turns blue and below this
range it is colorless. Thymolphthalein can be formulated from phthisic anhydride and thymol
by Friedel-Crafts alkylation. Thymolphthalein indicator solution includes Ethyl alcohol (64-17-
5) >99%, and Thymolphthalein (125-20-2) 0.04%. The thymolphthalein indicator is an
alcoholic and clear solution, having an odour as that of ethyl alcohol and contains denatured
ethyl alcohol. The addition of denatured ethyl alcohol makes the solution poisonous and thus
becomes toxic by inhalation and ingestion. It is a flammable liquid due to the content of ethyl
alcohol, having a flash point of 9 degree Celsius. The solution is highly reactive and reacts
vigorously with peroxides, oxidizers, acids, acid anhydrides, ammonia, alkali metals, heat,
moisture and any other source of ignition. It is quite toxic to human body and causes
headache, irritant, dizziness, nausea if exposed to humans, and it mainly targets the human
organs like liver, eyes, nerves and kidneys. The global thymolphthalein market is expected to
have a modest CAGR in the forecast period.
Global Thymolphthalein Market: Drivers and Restrains
The ever increasing industry of solvents, fibres and pesticides, and the increasing use of
thymolphthalein in various applications in these industries is a major driving factor for global
thymolphthalein market. The number of derivatives of thymolphthalein and their uses in the
industries of wire enamels, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, acrylic fibers is anticipated to bolster
the global thymolphthalein market in the forecast period.
