Itaconic acid is an organic compound. This dicarboxylic acid is a white solid that is soluble in water, ethanol, and acetone. Historically, itaconic acid was obtained by the distillation of citric acid, but currently, it is produced by fermentation. The name itaconic acid was devised as an anagram of aconitic acid, another derivative of citric acid.
(1). Itaconic acid and its polymers can be made into effective deodorants by adding a little natural substance, they can react with alkaline or acidic odor such as ammonium, amine, and hydrogen sulfide. They can also be utilized in paper and plastic thin film with deodorizing function.
(2). Itaconic acid can copolymerize with styrene and butadiene to prepare SBR latex which is widely used in paper coatings, metal, and concrete paint. It is used in paints to improve quality and used as a fiber carpet sizing agent to make a carpet more endurable.
(3)Itaconic acid can react with acrylic and methacrylic acid or their esters to prepare resins that can be widely used in emulsion coating, leather coating, coatings for cars, refrigerators,s, and other electrical appliances to improve adhesion, color, and weather resistance. They are also used in electrocortical coating with excellent adhesion, in a dental binder with the help of metal oxides. With chloroalkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride added, they can be used to prepare a water-soluble coating for food packaging to reduce bacteria contamination.
(4). Esters of itaconic acid can be used in paint, ion-exchange resin, lubricant, binder, plasticizer, sealant, and molding plastics.
(5). Some other itaconic acid derivatives are used in medicine, cosmetics, lubricant, thickener, herbicide, and wool modifiers. Storage and transportation: Keep away from moisture, sunlight, and rain. Do not leave in open space. Do not mix with toxic, odored, colored, or corrosive substances.
