1. Performance Chemicals

• Strong Acid Catalyst: PTA is used as a highly efficient acid catalyst for various organic transformations such as esterifications, dehydrations, rearrangements, and polymerizations.
• Oxidation Catalyst: Serves as a selective oxidizing agent for alcohols, sulfides, and other organic compounds, often under mild conditions.
• Polymerization Catalyst: Used in the polymer industry to catalyze polymerization of certain monomers, enhancing control over polymer structure.

2. Pharmaceuticals

• Catalyst in Synthesis: Used as a catalyst for producing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) that require strong acid or oxidation steps.
• Diagnostic Agent: Applied in histopathology labs for tissue staining aiding disease diagnosis.
• Purification Aid: Sometimes used in purification processes for certain pharmaceuticals.

3. Fabric Solution

• Dye Fixation: Assists in the fixation of dyes onto fabrics or other substrates, improving color fastness.
• Pigment Production Catalyst: Catalyzes certain pigment synthesis reactions, leading to improved yield and quality.
• Stabilizer: Helps stabilize dye formulations against degradation.

4. Water Treatment 

• Catalyst for Pollution Control: Used in catalytic converters and reactors to oxidize harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) in industrial emissions.
• Green Chemistry Catalyst: Enables selective oxidation with minimal waste, contributing to sustainable industrial processes.
