Itaconic Acid

Features (itaconic acid):1) Properties: a) Itaconic acid or methylene succinic acid b) M.W.: 130.1 c) M.F.: C5H6O42) Applications: a) Itaconic acid and its polymers can be made into effective deodorant by adding a little natural substance, to react with alkaline or acidic odor, including ammonium, amine, and hydrogen sulfide. This acid can also be used in paper and plastic thin film with deodorant functions b) Itaconic acid can copolymerize with styrene and butadiene to prepare SBR latex, which is widely used for paper coatings, metal and concrete paint; it is used for paints to improve quality and used as fiber carpet sizing agent to make carpet more endurable c) Itaconic acid can react with acrylic and methacrylic acid or esters to prepare for resins, which can be widely used for emulsion coating, leather coating and coatings for car, refrigerator and other electrical appliances to improve adhesion, color and weather resistance. This acid can also be used for electro-coating with excellent adhesion, in dental binder with the helpof metal oxides. With chloroalkyl dimethyl benzylammonium chloride added, it can be used for preparing for water soluble coating for food packaging to reduce bacteria contamination d) Esters of itaconic acid can be used for paint, ion-exchange resin, lubricant, binder, plasticizer, sealant and plastics molding e) Some other itaconic acid derivatives are used for medicine, cosmetics, lubricant, thickener, herbicide and wool modifierSpecifications:1) Appearance: white crystal or powder2) Purity: 99.7% (min.)3) Melting point: 165 - 168oC4) Loss on drying: 0.1% (max.)5) Ignition residue: 0.1% (max.)6) Color: 5 APHA (max.)7) Iron (Fe): 5ppm (max.)8) Heavy metal: 5ppm (max.)9) Chloride: 5ppm (max.)10) Sulfate: 20ppm (max.)Storage:1) Keep away from moisture, sunlight, and rain2) Do not leave in open space3) Do not mix with toxic, odor, color or corrosive substances4) Avoid contacting with skin or eyes5) Wash thoroughly with water in case of contacting with mouth or eyesPacking:25kg/woven bag, inner-lined with plastic bag, or upon customers' requests
