3,3,4,4-diphenylsulfonetetracarboxylicdianhydride DSDA CAS 2540-99-0
Explore Top-Quality DSDA with Aure Chemical
3,3',4,4'-Diphenylsulfonetetracarboxylic dianhydride (DSDA, CAS 2540-99-0) is a sulfone-containing aromatic dianhydride widely used in the synthesis of high-performance polyimides and copolyimides. The rigid aromatic framework combined with a polar sulfone linkage (–SO₂–) imparts excellent thermal stability, mechanical strength, chemical resistance, flame retardancy, and dimensional stability, making DSDA particularly suitable for harsh, safety-critical, and high-temperature environments.
