Product Description
Methylidenesuccinic acid, often known as itaconic acid, is an organic substance. This white solid dicarboxylic acid is soluble in acetone, ethanol, and water. Itaconic acid was once obtained through the distillation of citric acid, but nowadays it is made through fermentation. Itaconic acid is a name that was created as an anagram of aconitic acid, another citric acid derivative.
It is used in the ion-exchange chromatography, wastewater treatment, and polymer industries. When compared to gasoline, it can be transformed into 3-methyltetrahydrofuran, which has better combustion and emission characteristics.
High Purity and StabilityOur itaconic acid is supplied with a minimum purity of 99%, ensuring reliability for industrial and agricultural applications. The product is stable under normal conditions, with low moisture content (0.5% max) and is packaged securely in 25 kg bags to maintain quality. Proper storage in a cool, dry place helps guarantee its shelf life of up to two years.
Versatile Industrial ApplicationsItaconic acid is widely used in chemical synthesis, especially in the production of polymers, resins, and biodegradable plastics. Its excellent solubility in water, ethanol, and acetone enables easy formulation in industrial processes. Its non-toxic, odorless, and slightly sour properties further expand its utility in agriculture and industrial manufacturing.
Safe and Non-Hazardous ChemicalClassified as non-hazardous with no known toxic or poisonous effects, itaconic acid ensures safe handling throughout industrial and agricultural use. Its crystalline structure and compliance with industry standards such as GB/T 10633-2008 make it a reliable and user-friendly product, suitable for various manufacturing needs.
