Product Overview

 

Itaconic acid (CAS 97-65-4), also known as methylenesuccinic acid, is an unsaturated dicarboxylic acid featuring one reactive carbon-carbon double bond and two carboxyl groups. This structure gives it notable reactivity in polymerization, esterification, and addition reactions, making it a versatile building block for industrial formulations.

 

Our itaconic acid is supplied as a white crystalline powder with a purity of 99% or above, suitable for applications ranging from polymer synthesis to water treatment and coatings.

 

 

Specifications are typical values and may be adjusted to meet customer requirements. COA available upon request.

Primary Applications

 

Polymer & Resin Production

Itaconic acid serves as a comonomer in the manufacture of synthetic fibers, resins, plastics, and ion-exchange resins. Its incorporation modifies polymer properties including adhesion, dyeability, and thermal behavior.

 

Water Treatment & Scale Inhibition

Copolymers based on itaconic acid and acrylic acid are effective chelating agents for industrial water systems. They are used to control alkaline earth scale deposits in cooling water circuits and boiler systems, with the advantage of operating under near-neutral pH conditions.

 

Coatings, Adhesives & Latex

In emulsion polymerization, itaconic acid improves mechanical stability and adhesion of acrylic latexes used in architectural coatings, pressure-sensitive adhesives, and textile binders.

 

Fibers & Nonwovens

As a comonomer with acrylonitrile, itaconic acid enhances the dye uptake and moisture absorption of synthetic fibers. It is also employed in nonwoven binder formulations.

 

Esters & Derivatives

Itaconate esters serve as plasticizers and intermediates for lubricant additives, while dimethyl itaconate finds use in specialty chemical synthesis.
