| Product Name | Itaconic Acid |
| Synonyms | Methylenesuccinic acid; Methylenebutanedioic acid; 2-methylidenebutanedioate |
| Molecular Formula | C5H6O4 |
| Molecular Weight | 128.084 |
| CAS Registry Number | 97-65-4 |
| Molecular Structure | 
|
| Product Application | It is used as a co-monomer for the production of polyacrylonitrile fibers. It can also be used in the preparation of plasticizers, lubricant additives, etc. |
Itaconic Acid, also known as ITA, with CAS number 97-65-4.
Its molecular formula is C5H6O4,and molecular weight is 128.084.
It is a colorless crystal with a melting point of 165-168°C and a relative density of 1.6320.
It exhibits solubility in water, ethanol, acetone, and chloroform, with slight solubility in benzene and ether.
This unsaturated organic acid is highly reactive, prone to polymerization, and capable of copolymerization with monomers like acrylic and styrene.
Itaconic Acid finds extensive application as a monomer in the synthesis of synthetic fibers, resins, plastics, and ion exchange resins.
Additionally, it serves as a mounting agent for carpets, coating agent for paper, adhesive, emulsifier for coating dispersions, and plasticizer for polymers.
While Itaconic Acid itself is relatively non-toxic, its vapors can pose health risks, requiring production to occur in closed systems with operators wearing appropriate protective gear.
Storage in tightly sealed containers, preferably paper drums lined with plastic bags, is recommended to prevent moisture, heat, and exposure to oxidants, following standard chemical storage and transportation guidelines.
