Storage & Shipping
Storage Conditions
Store in tightly closed original bags in a cool, dry, ventilated place. Protect from moisture, direct sunlight and rain; segregate from strong alkalis and oxidizers.
Packaging Integrity
Inspect bag liners, seals and pallet wrapping before unloading. Retain lot labels, protect bags from wet floors and rain, and use clean dry tools. Typical loading reference: 20–24 MT per 20-foot FCL.
Packaging
25 kg kraft bags
Handling & Protection
Control dust with effective local ventilation. Wear chemical-resistant gloves, suitable work clothing and chemical splash goggles; keep eyewash available. Avoid breathing dust and all eye contact.
What Is Itaconic Acid?
Itaconic acid, CAS 97-65-4, is an unsaturated dicarboxylic acid also known as methylenesuccinic acid. Its two carboxyl groups and carbon-carbon double bond support esterification, addition and copolymerization. ZXCHEM supplies white crystals or powder with purity ≥99.6%.
The supply specification includes melting range 165–168°C, loss on drying ≤0.2%, ignition residue ≤0.03% and colour ≤5 APHA. Low iron, lead, chloride and sulphate limits help buyers compare inorganic impurities and incoming quality. Review these limits with the batch certificate of analysis.
Itaconic acid is evaluated as a comonomer in styrene-butadiene latex for paper coatings and carpet sizing, and in acrylic or methacrylic resin modification. Its derivatives are also used in selected binders, ion-exchange resins, lubricants and plasticizer systems. Evaluate reaction conditions, dosage and compatibility in the intended process.
Packing is 25 kg kraft bags; the typical loading reference is 20–24 MT per 20-foot FCL, depending on shipment arrangements. Store sealed, dry and protected from sunlight and rain. The substance is non-dangerous goods for transport but can cause serious eye damage, so control dust and use suitable eye protection.
