Introduction
Terephthalic Acid (TPA) is a benzene derivative commonly used in various industries, including the production of PET plastics and polycarbonate plastic bottles. In the fireworks industry, TPA plays a crucial role as a fuel in smoke compositions and some flash powder formulas. This white powder is non-toxic and not particularly flammable; however, it burns effectively at high temperatures, making it a valuable component in fireworks manufacturing.
