Description

Sodium Itaconate is the sodium salt of itaconic acid, a key bio-based platform chemical derived from renewable resources. This compound is valued for its role as a versatile monomer and chelating agent in the synthesis of high-performance polymers and specialty materials. It is essential for manufacturers in the polymer, detergent, and water treatment industries seeking sustainable and effective chemical intermediates. Sodium Itaconate CAS NO 5363-69-9 offers a reliable and consistent quality for industrial-scale production.

Application

• Polymer & Resin Production: Serves as a co-monomer for synthesizing specialized polymers, including superabsorbent polymers (SAPs), latex, and biodegradable plastics.
• Detergent & Chelating Agents: Used as a builder and sequestrant in detergent formulations to soften water and enhance cleaning efficiency by binding metal ions.
• Water Treatment Chemicals: Acts as a scale and corrosion inhibitor in industrial water treatment systems.
• Personal Care Products: Incorporated into formulations for hair styling gels and other cosmetic products due to its film-forming and conditioning properties.
• Adhesives & Coatings: Functions as a modifying agent to improve the adhesion, flexibility, and durability of various adhesive and coating products.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Utilized in the synthesis of certain active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and excipients.

Quality Control

Our Sodium Itaconate is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, identity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, heavy metals, and loss on drying are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
