Itaconic
Acid (also called Methylene Succinic Acid) is a white
crystalline carboxylic acid obtained by the fermentation of
carbohydrates. It is soluble in water, ethanol and acetone. Unsaturated
double bond makes a conjugated system with carbonly group. It is used in
the field of;
Co-monomer
to prepare acrylic fibers and rubbers, reinforced glass fiber, artificial
diamonds and lens
Additive
in fibers and ion exchange resins to increases abrasion, waterproofing,
physical resistance, dying affinity and better duration
Water
treatment system to prevent contamination by metallic alkali
As
binder and sizing agent in non-weaving fibers, paper and concrete paint.
The
end applications of itaconic acid and its esters include in the field of
co-polymerizations, plasticizers, lubricant oil, paper coating. Carpets
for better duration, adhesives, coatings, paints, thickener, emulsifier,
surface-active agents, pharmaceuticals and printing chemicals.
