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 solid 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.
