Phthalic anhydride is an important industrial chemical mainly used in the mass production of plasticizers for plastics.

The imported phthalic anhydride would cause damage to  Chinese industries should anti-dumping duties be lifted, said the ministry.

The duties took effect on Monday.

On Jan 7, China imposed anti-dumping measures on phthalic anhydride to offset negative impact on domestic producers.
